CAUTION: BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION. READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY.

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.

Carefully remove upper and lower spring shackle mounting hardware and left and right shackle plates. Lower axle carefully until wheels touch
the ground.

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.

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.

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 35 ft lbs.

Generously grease the Zerk fittings with Daystar Lubrathane Poly Lube or Teflon based grease. DO NOT USE OIL BASED GREASE!

Raise the vehicle and remove the jack stands. RE-TORQUE THE SHACKLE BOLTS AFTER 500 MILES.

Remove the rear rubber exhaust hanger and lower the exhaust bracket down 1 hole. Some trimming may be required. Install the supplied new
exhaust hanger. This is so that the exhaust won’t rub on the bottom of the rear leaf spring.
