Installation Instructions
1. Raise truck and support under the frame at a safe, comfortable working height.
2. Support rear axle with jack stands.
3. Remove leaf springs.
4. Remove oem bumpstop and bracket
using a die grinder and a cutoff wheel.
5. This is how the frame should look
after oem bump stop removal.
6. Install lower airspring/shock
crossmember onto rear axle
housing using the supplied
u bolts as shown to the left.
7. Install the upper control arm
axle bracket onto the housing
cover using the supplied
fasteners as shown to the left.
Make sure to tighten all the
link bolts at ride height.
8. Install upper airspring/shock
crossmember. This
crossmember will be located by
the OEM upper shock brackets.
You will also need to drill 2
additional mounting hole in each
framerail, using the
crossmember as a template, to
complete the installation.
9. This is a close up view of the
upper airspring/shock
crossmember installation.
10. Install the upper
control arm frame mount
onto the gas tank
crossmember. This is a 2
piece mount that is bolted
around the tank
crossmember and is
located via the bungs on
the inside of the bracket
that are inserted into
existing holes in the tank
crossmember. The
threaded holes are used
locate bolts that prevent
the bracket assembly from
rocking on the
crossmember. The
bracket can be welded as
an alternative.
NOTE: Due to the various locations of the emissions equipment, etc. over the years,
you may need to relocate items such as the charcoal canister, fuel lines, brake lines,
and electrical wiring. A little thought and care goes a long way here! Typically the fuel
lines, brake lines and wiring can be simply move aside if they are in the way, while the
charcoal canister may need to be repositioned entirely.
11. Install the lower bars into the axle
bracket and the OEM leafspring
mount. You will use the OEM
leafspring bolt for the front and the
supplied bolt for the axle bracket end.
12. Install the upper control arm into
the axle housing bracket and the gas
tank bracket. NOTE: The upper
control arm is NOT symmetrical. If it
is installed upside down, it will
position the rear axle approx 4” to the
right. If you incur this problem simply
flip the control arm over.
13. Install the airsprings into the upper and lower airspring/shock crossmembers. Be sure to
use the supplied lower plates under the bottom of the airspring to prevent damage to the
airspring when fully deflated.
14. Install shocks into the upper and lower airspring/shock crossmembers using the supplied
shock studs on the bottom and the supplied bolts on top. When properly installed these
shocks will not bottom out under full deflation and will capture the airspring extension under
full inflation. DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTE SHOCKS WITHOUT CAREFULLY CHECKING
THESE DIMENSIONS! Shocks are purchased separately.
It is the final responsibility of the installer and vehicle
driver to insure that the airspring will not rub on
anything at any time! Failure to follow this guideline will
result in immediate failure of the airspring and will NOT be
a warranty situation.
