1. Raise the vehicle to a safe and comfortable working height. Use jack stands to support the vehicle
with the suspension hanging freely.
2. Support the axle and remove the leaf springs, shocks and tail pipes. Refer to the factory service
manual for proper disassemble procedures. Hang on to the front leaf spring bolts, they will be
reused.
3. The square U-bolts hold the upper
cradle in place and will slide through
two existing holes. Some cars may
not have these holes. In this case
use the cradle as a template.
Note: You may need to open the
holes up a bit to turn the bolt into
place.
4. Lower the axle and slide the
cradle assembly into place. The
cradle will be held in place with two
3/8 nylocs and flat washers. Do not
tighten these until all the bolts in the
cradle have been started.
