STEP 1—VEHICLE PREPARATION
With the vehicle on a solid level surface chock the front
wheels. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Raise
the rear wheels of the vehicle using a lift or platform jack
rated for your vehicle’s weight at the center of the rear
axle. Continue to raise the vehicle until the rear wheels
are 8" off the ground. Lower the vehicle frame forward of
the suspension onto jack stands rated for your vehicle's
weight allowing the suspension to hang freely. ( DO NOT
use wood or concrete blocks to support the weight of
the vehicle.)
In order to complete the installation of the air helper
springs, it is necessary to remove the coil springs from
the vehicle. With the vehicle resting on jack stands, jack
the vehicle suspension from the differential up approxi-
mately 2" from its fully extended position. Remove the
lower shock bolt and free the shock from both sides
of the vehicle, see Figure “A”. Then, detach the sway
bar on both sides of the vehicle located forward of the
axle mounted to the frame rail, see Figure “A”. Now,
