WARNING

DO NOT EXCEED THE MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDED GROSS
VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR).

1. Raise the vehicle until wheels are off the ground and support with jack stands under

the frame.


2. It is recommended that the truck’s bed be removed to allow working clearance in

and around the chassis. Use care to insure that the OEM lighting wire harness
connectors, fuel filler neck(s) and grounding straps are disconnected prior to lifting
the bed from its mounts


3. Support the rear axle with jack stands and remove the wheels.


Extreme caution should be used in the next few steps to prevent personal injury
and/or property damage. Make sure springs are unloaded before attempting to

remove them. Failure to do so can cause the spring to eject. Use a floor jack to find

the “neutral” position of the springs before removal.


4. Remove the leaf springs and the rear shackle assembly

5. Disconnect the rear sway bar and remove the secondary overload spring pads (if

applicable)

6. Remove the brackets that secure the Emergency brake cable to the frame. Also

remove the Emergency brake cable from the passenger side leaf spring hanger.
These will be re routed and secured after the 4 link hanger is installed.
