Ridetech 11456799 - Manual (Page 9)

After the bed is re-installed, be sure to re-check all clearances for brakelines, wiring , fuel lines and air
lines.
Be sure to treat all trimmed areas on the frame and bed for rust prevention.
Re- check airspring clearance
Re-check panhard bar clearance
Re-check shock travel to ensure the shocks do not bottom out when the truck is fully lowered. The
shocks should capture the suspension travel before the airspring is fully extended.
Ride height of the airsprings is approx. 10.5”. On an empty truck this should be approx. 35psi.
Fender height will be approx. 32.5” at ride height, both loaded and empty.
21. The bed supports will need to be trimmed before the bed can be reinstalled. There are 3
crossmembers that are affected as shown above. The 2 crossmembers that are directly over the axle
housing will need to be removed completely for clearance. The front crossmember as shown above
is only notched for C notch clearance. This is best accomplished with a cutoff wheels or sawzall to
avoid damage to the inside of the bedfloor. [Don’t accidentally cut through the bedfloor like we did!]
22. The bed floor lip must be notched for
shock clearance. A 2” wide x 1” tall notch
should be centered approx. 4” from the rear
of the bedbrace as shown In the picture to
the left.
