INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations—your new Work-Rite load assists are quality products capable of improving the han-
dling and comfort of your vehicle while under load. As with all products, proper installation is the key to
obtaining all of the benefits your kit is capable of delivering. Please take a few minutes to read through
the instructions to identify the components and learn where and how they are used. It is a good idea to
start by comparing the parts in your kit with the parts list below.
NOTE: IF ANY PARTS ARE MISSING FROM THE KIT, PLEASE CALL 1-800-888-0650.
PLEASE DO NOT CALL OR RETURN THE KIT TO THE DEALER.
Be sure to take all applicable safety precautions during the installation of the kit. The instructions listed
in this brochure and the illustrations all show the left, or driver’s side of the vehicle. To install the right
side assembly simple follow the same procedures.
STEP 1— PREPARE THE VEHICLE
With the vehicle on a solid, level surface chock the front wheels. Remove the negative battery cable.
Remove the jounce bumpers located under the frame rail. The jounce bumpers, bolts, and nuts will not
be re-used with this kit.
STEP 2— PRE-ASSEMBLE THE KIT
Insert the frame brace into the frame, being careful not to pinch any of the existing lines inside the frame rail. Slide
the upper bracket onto the frame rail and frame brace making sure that all the holes line up. See Figures “A”
& “B”. Use the holes in the bracket as a template, mark and drill the holes in the frame rail. Before drilling the
holes make sure all electrical, brake and fuel lines are cleared from the path of the drill. It is recommended
to place a thin piece of wood between the frame rail and the existing lines. After drilling the holes, attach the
upper bracket with the 3/8"-16 x 4" hex bolts.
NOTE: An optional spacer may be installed to engage the Work-Rite sooner when a load is applied. To
install, place between the Work-Rite and the upper bracket. If 1 spacer is installed, use the 3/8"-16 x
1-1/2" bolts, or the 2" bolts for 2 spacers. There should be 1/4" to 3/8" between the Work-Rite and the
axle. See Figure “B”.
STEP 3— INSTALLING THE ASSEMBLY ON THE VEHICLE
Attach the Work-Rite to the upper bracket using 3/8"-16 x 1” hex bolts, large flat washers, and flange lock nuts
inserted through the bottom of the Work-Rite and into the hole in the upper bracket. See Figure “A”.
STEP 4— FINISH UP
Remove the wheel chocks and reconnect the battery cable. Now you’re finished and ready to put your Work-Rite
to use!
