front wheel.

jack under the front axle and raise the vehicle.
Place jack stands under the frame rails and
lower the frame onto the stands. Remove the
jack and place the vehicle back in gear, set the
emergency brake, and place blocks both in front
and behind the rear wheels. Remove the front
wheels.

from the vehicle.

axle. Save the hardware for reuse.
5. Unbolt the lower front shock mount on both
sides of the vehicle. If you purchased kit

shocks from the vehicle. It may be necessary
that you slightly raise the axle to unload the
shocks for removal.

mount and secure up and out of the work area.

the axle while the springs and shocks are re-
moved.

bump stop-mounting cups.

low the coil springs to expand.
