Installation
‰ 1. INSERT COIL SPRING RETAINER
 Locate the 5/8” hole in the center of the lower
spring mount on the rear axle.
 Place Coil Spring Retainer (A) inside the spring by
sliding it between the coils. Make sure flat side of
Coil Spring Retainer faces down.
 Position Coil Spring Retainer (A) directly on the
lower spring mount as illustrated.
‰ 2. SECURE SPRING RETAINER TO LOWER
SPRING MOUNT
 Insert 7/16” x 1-1/2” Flathead Socket Screw (B) into
tapered hole in center of Coil Spring Retainer (A),
and through the hole in the lower spring mount.
 From beneath spring mount, slide a 7/16” Flat
Washer (C) onto threads of Flathead Socket
Screw (B) and install the 7/16” Nylock Nut (D).
 Secure the Coil Spring Retainer (A) to the lower
spring mount by tightening the mounting hard-
ware. Use a 1/4” Allen Wrench to prevent the 7/16”
x 1-1/2” Flathead Socket Screw (B) from spinning,
and tighten the 7/16” Nylock Nut (D) to 35 ft-lbs.
 Make sure the Coil Spring Retainer (A) is perfectly
flat against the lower spring mount, and coil spring
is secure.
