INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations – your new Work-Rite load assists are quality products
capable of improving the handling and comfort of your vehicle while under load. As
with all products, proper installation is the key to obtaining all of the benefits your

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 – INSTALL THE UPPER BRACKET TO THE FRAME
Install the upper bracket onto the vehicle using 3/8"-16 x 1-1/8" bolt, large
flat washer, and 3/8"-16 lock nut into the hole from the jounce bumper. See
Figure “A”.
STEP 3 – INSTALLING THE WORK-RITE
First, determine how many spacers will be need between the upper bracket
and the Work-Rite load assist, and the bolt length needed, by using the chart in
Figure "A". Measure the distance between the bottom of the upper bracket and
the top of the jounce stop (most 4x4s) or axle (4x2).
Fasten the Work-Rite to the upper bracket by inserting the hex bolt and
flat washer inserted through the bottom of the Work-Rite and into the small
hole at the top. Install the 3/8-16 flange lock nut onto the bolt and tighten.
NOTE: There should be 1/4" to 3/8" between the Work-Rite and the axle
or jounce stop.
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!
