the alignment. This measurement is a starting point.

4. Slight prying of the mounts apart may be necessary for arm installation. Install the original rear suspension arm
bolt and slightly tighten the nut. Install the original front suspension arm bolt and slightly tighten the nut. Refer to the
reference mark on the cam bolt and the axle when installing the cam bolt. Repeat on the other side of the vehicle.
12. Remove the upper suspension arm nut and bolt at the axle. Remove the nut and bolt at the frame and remove the
upper suspension arm. Repeat this step for the opposite side of the vehicle. Note: If your truck has a diesel en-
gine it may be necessary to unbolt the exhaust from the turbo to allow for clearance to remove the upper
front bolt. Retain hardware for reuse.

the mounts may be necessary for arm installation. Install the original front and rear suspension arm bolt and slightly
tighten the nuts. Note: Raising the axle to ride height and rotating the lower arm cam adjusters will facilitate
insertion of the upper suspension arms. Repeat steps for the opposite side of the vehicle.
