REAR INSTALLATION
An option on the SD is factory contact overload springs. Vehicles equipped with factory contact overloads
need a longer u-bolt. Part #6558. Please verify the correct kit has been ordered and received prior to pro-
ceeding. On vehicles with dual rear wheel the use of blocks and longer u-bolts is not recommended.
1. Chock front wheels and jack up the rear of the vehicle. Secure with jack stands on the frame rail.
2. Place a floor jack under the rear differential on the rear axle. Using a 18mm wrench for the upper, and 19mm and
15mm wrench for the lower, remove the stock shock absorbers, retain the stock hardware for reuse.
1. Remove the stock u-bolts using a 24mm socket. Use the floor jack to lower the axle assembly to allow for the lifted
block installation
2. Install the Rough Country block in between the factory block and
the axle. The block being installed has a taper, the short end of the
block should be towards the center of the truck. Photo 9 shows
proper block placement. Jack up the axle and align the pins in the
blocks and axle seat.
3. Secure with the new u-bolts and torque evenly to 120ft lbs using a
24mm socket. As you tighten work side to side to not over-torque
one leg of the u-bolt
