14. Reinstall the compressed coil spring onto the strut assembly and re-attach the upper strut mount plate using the new
strut stem cushions and the stock hardware.
15. Decompress the coil spring in the strut assembly. Make sure that the spring is seated correctly into the strut assembly
alignment indentation.
16. Slide the coil spring spacer onto the strut assembly over the 10mm bolts.
17. Install the strut assembly into the strut tower and start the upper three 10mm nuts with spring washers. (Make sure that
the bottom of the strut is aligned as well)
18. Install the lower strut bolt in the original position that it was removed. (Step 8)

CAUTION: BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.
READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY.
1. Park vehicle on a level work area and set emergency brake. Block front tires and lift the rear of the
vehicle until the wheels clear the ground approximately 3”. Place jack stands under frame rail behind inner spring perch.
Lower vehicle onto jack stands with axle supported by floor jack.
2. Carefully remove upper and lower spring shackle mounting hardware and left and right shackle plates. Lower axle carefully until wheels touch the ground.
3. Carefully remove the existing rubber and metal outer shell. The spring eyes have a rubber bushing that is molded into an
outer shell. This needs to be removed and it may take force to remove it. It is recommended that you have an experienced mechanic perform this operation.
4. Clean the I.D. of the spring eye and the frame with a wire brush or sand paper. Install the new bushings into the frame
and the spring eye. Generously grease the bushings with 2oz. Lubrathane Poly Lube or Teflon based grease.
5. Install the new shackle onto the frame with the small opening first. Insert the 5” bolt and start the nut. Carefully raise the
axle so that the large opening of the shackle lines up with the spring eye. Insert the 6” bolt and tighten nuts to factory
specifications.
6. Raise the vehicle and remove the jack stands. Re-torque the shackle bolts after 500 miles.
7. Remove the rear rubber exhaust hangar and lower the exhaust bracket down 1 hole. Install the supplied new exhaust
hangar. This is so that the exhaust won’t rub on the rear leaf spring. Install new rear shocks at this time.

Final Notes:
- After installation is complete, double check that all nuts and bolts are tight. Check to ensure there is adequate clearance
between all rotating, mobile, and fixed members.
- Ensure there is adequate clearance between exhaust and brakelines, fuel lines, fuel tank, floor board, and wiring harness
es. Check steering gear for interference and proper working order. Inspect brakelines for damages and adequate clearance.
- With the vehicle on the floor, cycle steering lock to lock and inspect steering, suspension, driveline
and brakeline systems for proper operation, tightness and adequate clearance.
- Have headlights readjusted to proper settings.
- Have a qualified alignment center check and realign to factory specifications.
