‰ 1. REMOVE REAR TRACKBAR AND

stands positioned in front of the rear lower

hydraulic jack to relieve tension from track bar
mounting hardware.

hardware from axle housing. Disconnect drop
links from axle and retain original hardware.

absorbers and disconnect shocks from axle
brackets. Retain original hardware.
 Lower rear axle housing until the coil springs
are free from upper spring mounts. Remove coil
springs from vehicle.
‰ 2. REMOVE FACTORY SPRING
MOUNTS FROM AXLE
 Inspect factory spring mount on axle housing.
Locate the areas that are welded to axle tube.
 Cut factory spring mount off of the axle housing.
Use care to avoid cutting into the axle tube.
HINT: A die grinder with cut-off wheel is useful
for cutting off the factory spring mount.
 Remove any remaining spring mount material
from the axle housing until surface of axle tube
is smooth. HINT: A grinding wheel is useful for
removing remaining spring mount material.
 Locate the long factory weld on front (driver

long factory weld shortened, paint bare metal
on axle tube to prevent corrosion.
