Airbagit Tow Kit 2003-2012 Dodge Ram 2500_3500 4 Link - Manual (Page 2)

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. Remove the shocks and the bumpstops
6. Remove the secondary overload spring pads (if applicable) with a plasma cutter,
torch, or sawzall. It is important that the pad is removed without damaging or
affecting the structural integrity of the frame. Make sure a qualified person
performs this step.
7. Grind the frame smooth
