NOTE:

In the case that your truck is new or

has stiff springs it may be necessary

to gain additional clearance in order

to remove or reinstall the coil spring

and spacer. Follow the steps below

in order to gain an inch or two of

additional clearance with each step.

CAUTION: It is very important that

you adequately support the axle and

differential as they are heavy and

could roll backwards as you

disconnect them from the frame.

Also, pay close attention to the

vacuum lines and brake lines to

avoid over-extending or breaking

them.

1. Unbolt the lower track bar

connection from the axle on the

passenger side.

2. Disconnect the upper bolt on the

anti-sway bar link on the axle side.

3. Unbolt the upper trailing arm on

the axle side.

Reassemble in reverse order and

torque all bolts to OEM

specifications.

10. Install the shock down through

the engine compartment, and secure

the bottom of the shock into the

stock location using stock hardware.

11. Reinstall stock upper shock

tower into stock location. Secure

new coil spring spacer to upper shock

mount using the provided 10mm

nuts. Torque to 35 ft-lbs. Repeat

procedure on passenger side.

(See figure on left)

12. On the driver side, install the

stock rubber grommet and

retaining washer and secure the

top of the shock to the upper shock

mount. Repeat procedure on

passenger side.

13. Remove the hydraulic jack from

under the differential. Reinstall the

wheels and remove the jack stands

from under the vehicle and take

directly to an alignment shop.
