13. Locate the bump stop and remove the Schrader valve cap
and mounting nut. Insert the bump stop into the outer
bump stop mount assembly. Align the bump stop
locating pin in the top cap of the mounting can. This will
slide in and must be located before tightening the nut on
the top mount.
****Make sure you align the pin before tightening the
nut.
14. Tighten the top nut on both bump stops to ensure they
are secure. Replace the Schrader valve cap.
15. Locate the bump stop mount pad assembly and u-bolts.
Set the bump stop pad on the top of the axle tube near
the spring perch. Slide the u-bolt up from the bottom of
the axle assembly through the mounting holes in the
bump stop pad assembly. This will fit just between the
shock mount and the spring perch on the axle. Make sure
the bump stop pad is aligned on the axle to meet the
bump stop when the suspension collapses. Follow step
18 for the correct alignment.
16. To ensure they are aligned correctly you must re-install the rear wheels and let the truck down off
the jack stands to check for the alignment of the pads with the bump stops. The bump stop shaft
should be 90 degrees to the pad when looking at the contact area where the bump stop will touch
the bump stop pad on the rear axle. You should rotate the bump stop pad and u-bolts until they line
up with the bump stop before tightening the nuts on the u-bolts. Once aligned, tighten the nuts on
the u-bolts evenly by tightening them a little at a time and going in a clock wise rotation as you
tighten.
17. Re-install spare tire.
