Greaseable Super Shackle kit. Part # KJ61017
1. Park vehicle on a level area and set the emergency brake. Block the tires opposite of the side you are working on. Lift
one end of the vehicle using a floor jack until the wheel clears the ground approx 3”. Place jack stands under the
frame rail behind the spring perch. Lower vehicle onto the jack stands with the axle supported by the floor jack.
2. Carefully remove upper and lower spring mounting hardware, left and right shackles. Lower the axel carefully until
the wheels touch the ground. Make sure that brake lines and the axel vent line is not over stretched.
3. Remove the spring eye bushings and steel sleeves assembly from spring eyes. Some frame shackle bushings need to
reuse the outer spring shell. Take care not to damage the steel shell.
4. Lubricate the bushings before installing them.
5. Install the spring and frame shackle bushings and sleeves.
6. Install the shackle onto the frame side first. Shackles with off-centered tube, install the long end up toward the frame
and short end down towards the spring.
7. Install the upper bolts and nuts. Tighten the nuts so the shackles swing freely. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE
NUTS OR SHACKLE.
8. Using the floor jack raise the rear axle until the spring eye aligns with the shackle. Insert the bolts and tighten the nut.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE NUTS.

bricant.
