INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations – your new Work-Rite load assists are quality products
capable of improving the handling and comfort of your vehicle while under load. As
with all products, proper installation is the key to obtaining all of the benefits your
kit is capable of delivering. Please take a few minutes to read through the
instructions to identify the components and learn where and how they are used. It
is a good idea to start by comparing the parts in your kit with the parts list below.
NOTE: IF ANY PARTS ARE MISSING FROM THE KIT,
PLEASE CALL 1-800-888-0650.
PLEASE DO NOT CALL OR RETURN THE KIT TO THE DEALER.
Be sure to take all applicable safety precautions during the installation of the
kit. The instructions listed in this brochure and the illustrations all show the left,
or driver’s side of the vehicle. To install the right side assembly simple follow the
same procedures.
STEP 1 – PREPARE THE VEHICLE
With the vehicle on a solid, level surface chock the front wheels. Remove the
negative battery cable. Remove the jounce bumpers located under the frame rail.
The jounce bumpers, bolts, and nuts will not be re-used with this kit.
STEP 2 – PRE-ASSEMBLE THE KIT
Select the left upper bracket (5635) and insert a 3/8"-16 x 1-1/2" carriage bolt
into the square hole. See Figure “A”. Select one Work-Rite load assist from your
kit and attach it to the upper bracket using a 3/8"-16 x 1" hex head bolt and flat
washer inserted through the bottom of the Work-Rite and into the small hole in the
top, then secure to the upper bracket using a 3/8"-16 flange lock nut. See Figure
“A”.
STEP 3 – INSTALLING THE ASSEMBLY ON THE VEHICLE
Place the sleeve over the carriage bolt installed in Step 2. Attach the upper
bracket onto the vehicle by inserting the 3/8"-16 x 1-1/2” carriage bolt into the
slotted hole on the jounce bumper brace. NOTE: The tab on the upper bracket will
also insert into the slotted hole on the jounce bumper brace. See Figure "A".
Install a 3/8"-16 flange lock nut and washer onto the carriage bolt and tighten. A
ratcheting box wrench would make this easier to install. See Figure “A”.
Repeat steps 1-3 for the right side of the vehicle.
STEP 4 – FINISH UP
Remove the wheel chocks and reconnect the battery cable. Now you're finished
and ready to put your Work-Rite to use!
