Rear:
10. Raise the rear of the vehicle and remove the rear tires.
Remove the rear shocks using a 17mm socket. (See
Photo #8).
11. Disconnect the brakeline bracket from the axle housing
using a 18mm wrench. (See Photo #9). Disconnect the
emergency brake cable fro the ends of the axle tube.
12. Remove the rear U-Bolts using a 19mm socket.
13. Place 2 C-Clamps around the leaf spring as shown in
Photo #10. Tighten C-Clamps against the leaf spring.
With C-Clamps tightened onto leaf spring, remove the
center tie bolt using a pair of vice grips to hold the head
of the bolt. “Slowly” remove C-Clamps to release spring
tension.
14. Install the new add-a-leaf above the bottom over load in
the factory spring pack. Note the location of the tie bolt
hole in the add-a-leaf. If the hole is not centered, mea-
sure the factory spring to determine the long end and
short end. Be sure to install the add-a-leaf with the long
end towards the long end of the leaf spring.
15. Use a screw driver to line up the tie bolt hole in the
leaves. It is recommended to leave the screwdriver in
to help keep the leaves aligned as you tighten the C-
Clamps. Tighten until there is enough space to install the
new tie bolt. With tie bolt installed, tighten the nut by hand
and continue to tighten the C-Clamps, then the nut by
hand. Repeat this process until leaves are pulled togeth-
er. Torque the 3/8 tie bolt to 17 Ft. Lbs. DO NOT USE
THE TIE BOLT TO PULL THE LEAVES TOGETHER.
THIS CAN RESULT IN AN EXPLOSIVE DISASSEMBLY
AND POSSIBLE INJURY!
16. After add-a-leaf is is installed, reinstall U-Bolts and bump
stops. (See Photo #11). Install new shocks. (See Photo
#12). Reinstall tires and lower to the ground.
