Prepare to Install Front
Suspension

1. Loosen, but do not remove, lug nuts on each

front wheel.

2. Place the vehicle in neutral. Place your floor

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.

3. Unbolt and remove the transmission skid plate

from the vehicle.

4. Unbolt the front sway bar end links from the

axle. Save the hardware for reuse.

5. Unbolt the lower front shock mount on both

sides of the vehicle. If you purchased kits
TM3415-20012 or TM3415-20013 unbolt and
remove the front shocks from the vehicle. It
may be necessary that you slightly raise the
axle to unload the shocks for removal.

6. Unbolt the front track bar from the front axle

mount and secure up and out of the work area.
Save the hardware for reinstallation.

7. Unbolt the all the ABS mounting clips from the

vehicle.

8. Unbolt the front brake line brackets from the

frame.

9. Lower the front axle enough to remove the coil

springs from the front spring pockets. Save the
factory isolators for re-use. Be sure to support
the axle while the springs and shocks are re-
moved.

10. Remove the front bump stops and unbolt the

bump stop-mounting cups.

lator over the bump stop mount. Reinstall the

serious personal injury. Before removing the coil
springs, lower the axle housing as far as possible to al-
low the coil springs to expand.
