INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: The frame support brackets must be clamped into position on the outside of the frame and
welded to frame by a certified welder or front end frame specialist.
1)
Support vehicle on Jack stands and remove drivers side tire, wheel, and all steering components,
including steering box. Completely remove steering box from frame.
2)
If frame is cracked it must be repaired first. Make frame flat, grind groove along crack,
weld its complete length, grind frame flat again. Clean all old paint or undercoating and all dirt
away from all possible welding areas. Now the frame is ready for the support brackets.
3)
Align large support plate with the four steering box holes on the inside of the frame, hold in place
with four bolts, (not supplied). Use C-clamps to be sure support plate is consistently flat along

4)
Weld plate to frame with 1 _” weld passes. Move along approximately 1 _” and begin
welding another 1 _” weld pass. DO NOT WELD CONTINUOUS WELD PASSES. Weld the
top and two sides this way leaving the bottom with no weld until you install the bottom plate.
5)
Place small plate on the underside of frame aligning the large hole over the rivet in the
bottom of the frame. Clamp plate to frame and follow steps three and four above.
6)
After cooling, remove small bolts, clean slag and apply two coats of paint.
7)
Re-install all steering components, torque all bolts to manufactures suggested torque
requirements. Install tire and wheel, torque lug nuts to manufacturer-recommended torque
specifications.
