9. The bottom 4 link bar [longer] is installed into the oem leafpring hangar. NOTE: This system is
designed to use the OEM leafspring hangar. DO NOT use an aftermarket “dropped” leafspring
hangar. It will affect the position of the lower bar resulting in poor bar angle, pinion angle and
vibration.
The shorter bars are installed into the upper frame and axle bar brackets. Be sure to use the supplied
grease to lubricate these bushings during assembly.
10. Install the panhard bar axle bracket as
shown. You MUST use the fasteners that are
supplied with the system. The original bolts are
too short and are not strong enough.
8. After the axle bridge assembly is
installed, the upper bar frame brackets
can be installed. These brackets will use
2 of the leafspring hangar rivit holes and
one additional drilled hole for attachment.
Grind the heads off of two of the
leafspring hangar rivets and punch them
out. You may have to run a drill through
the rivets holes to clean them up. Use the
bracket as a guide to drill the additional
attachment hole.
