INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Raise the front of the vehicle and support with safety stands under the frame rails. Take care not to over extend the
stock brake lines.
2. Remove the front wheels and tires. Remove stock shocks using a 3/4” wench. Retain the lower shock hardware for
reuse.
3. Support the front axle housing with a floor jack (you must have stands under frame supporting vehicle weight).
4. Remove the stock sway bar links from the sway bar and the spring pads using a 3/4” wrench. It may be necessary to
tap the upper link on the sway bar with a hammer to release the tapered pin. See Photo 1.
5. Unbolt track bar from the housing on the passenger side of the front axle as shown in Photo 2 and then tie the bar
up and out of the way.
6. Remove the four front spring to axle u-bolts. See Photo 3. (The remainder of the spring removal and installation is
performed one side at a time.)
7. On the driver side position a floor jack under the axle tube, just inside of the leaf spring. Raise the jack until the axle
just separates from the spring. Now remove the frame bolts and the shackle bolts on the leaf spring using a 3/4”
wrench/socket on the shackle end and a 13/16” & 11/16” on the frame end. See Photo 4. Remove the stock spring
and retain the stock hardware.
8. Repeat on the other side.
9. Loosely attach the spring (front spring part number is 8009 to its hangers with the stock bolts, washers & nuts. Snug
up but do not completely tighten. Make sure spring tie bolt heads align and seat into spring perch holes.
