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.
