Airbagit Tow Kit 2001-2010 GM HD Heavy Duty 4 Link - Manual (Page 2)

WARNING
DO NOT EXCEED THE MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDED GROSS
VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR).
1. Raise the vehicle until wheels are off the ground and support with jack stands under
the frame.
2. It is recommended that the truck’s bed be removed to allow working clearance in
and around the chassis. Use care to insure that the OEM lighting wire harness
connectors, fuel filler neck(s) and grounding straps are disconnected prior to lifting
the bed from its mounts
3. Support the rear axle with jack stands and remove the wheels.
Extreme caution should be used in the next few steps to prevent personal injury
and/or property damage. Make sure springs are unloaded before attempting to
remove them. Failure to do so can cause the spring to eject. Use a floor jack to find
the “neutral” position of the springs before removal.
4. Remove the leaf springs and the rear shackle assembly
5. Remove the secondary overload spring pads (if applicable)
6. Remove the rivets securing the factory leaf spring hanger to the frame. The holes in
the frame will need to be chased with a ½” drill.
