Rear Installation


Block the front wheels.

Raise the rear of the vehicle, support the frame with jack stands,
and remove the rear wheels. With a floor jack, raise the rear
axle enough to relieve tension on the shock absorber.

Remove the lower shock mounting bolt.

Insert 1


Remove the 12mm emergency brake line retaining bracket bolt.

Insert 2


Making sure the axle is well supported with jack stands, remove
the axle U-bolts and hardware. Mark the ends of the leaf pack as
front and rear. Now remove the spring eye bolts and/or shack-
les, and remove the springs from the vehicle.

Insert 3


Using C-clamps or a large bench vise, hold the spring assembly
securely together. Using vise-grips to hold the head of the cen-
ter bolt, loosen and remove it. If the bolt has rusted, a hammer
and drift punch may be used to drive it out.

Carefully remove C-clamps or open vise and lay unassembled
spring aside. With a small amount of grease applied to both
ends of the Add-A-Leaf, re-assemble leaf springs with Add-A-
Leaf in place. Order of assembly should be longest to smallest
excluding the bottom overload spring.

Install new bolt supplied with the nut on the underside of the leaf
pack.

Insert 4 & 5


Reinstall the leaf pack taking note the front and rear positions.
Torque to factory specs
