Installation Procedure

Measure & Record

Measure the vehicle and record all measurements on the installation helper before beginning any work.

Remove Leaf Spring

Remove the front and rear spring eye bolts and remove the spring from the truck. Keep the bolts — they will be reused to reassemble the springs.

Reinstall Spring & Axle Locator

Reinstall the leaf spring under the axle. Place the new axle locator bracket on top of the spring with the off-center hole toward the front of the vehicle. This will center the rear axle and pull the drive shaft back from the transmission slightly. Lower the rear axle into the new axle supports. Rotate the axle to the desired pinion angle.

Install U-Bolts & Spring Plates

Install the new U-bolts and 5-hole spring plates on the bottom of the springs. Cross-torque the u-bolts.

Caution: Over tightening may bend spring plates.
Install Upper Axle Plates

Place the new upper axle plates with the pin down on top of the axle. Install the 5/8" x 3-1/2" bolt forward and the 5/8" x 4" bolt to the rear, with one flat washer on top of the upper plate and one on the bottom of the axle locator.

Install Bump Stop

Remove the factory bump stop bracket from the frame. Drill a 3/8" hole and install the new bump stop to the frame.

Install New Rear Shocks

Install the new rear shocks and tighten all hardware.

After Test Drive

🏁
Test drive the vehicle. Double check all hardware is tight.
📐
Measure the amount of drop and record on the installation helper.
