11. Remove the rear two bridge bolts from the bottom of the
frame. Install the upper shock mount to the outside of the
frame. Note there is a passenger and drivers side bracket.
Drill the remaining 4 holes with a 5/16” drill bit, and tread in
3/8” x 1” self-tapping bolts.

12. Insert shock stud through lower bridge and tighten.
Install the shock using 1/2” x 2-1/2” bolt on top and then
slide over stud on bottom with a washer on both sides of
shock. Apply a small amount of anti-seize on stud threads.

13. The final step is to check all clearances through full
suspension travel. Check all brake, fuel, air, and vent lines.
Make sure nothing can rub the air spring. At ride height the
air spring should be approx. 10.5” tall.


9. Thread the air fitting into the top of
the air spring, using a thread sealant.


10. Fasten the air spring to the upper
and lower bridges; use the 3/8” x 1” bolts
and snug. Be careful not to over tighten
these bolts, it will damage the air spring.
Make sure the air spring does not rub
the brake line.

Note: The air spring in the picture is
different that the one you will be
installing.
