REPARE THE VEHICLE
With the vehicle is on a solid level surface, chock the front wheels. This vehicle does not have to be raised up to
install the kit. Remove the negative battery cable. This installation assumes that there is no load on the vehicle.
S TEP 2 - P REASSEMBLE THE KIT
Select two Work-Rite bumpers and an upper bracket from your kit. Fasten the upper bracket to the Work-Rite
bumpers using the 3/8" -16 x 1-1/2" hex bolts inserted into the bottom of the bumpers, through the top hole, and into the
holes in the upper bracket. Secure with a flanged hex nut. See Figure "A".
S TEP 3 - P REPARE THE FRAME
The frame rail on the driver's side of the vehicle will require the relocation of three items that will interfere with the
upper bracket and air spring. This is accomplished by relocating the existing nuts, bolts, and clips on the frame rail that
fall between the upper bracket flanges.
1.) The emergency brake line clip will be moved toward the rear of the vehicle see Figure "B".
2.) The plastic line harness located on the inside of the frame rail will be moved 2-1/4" toward the rear of the
vehicle. Two 3/8" holes will have to be drilled to relocate the line harness see Figure "B".
3.) The ground strap bolt must be relocated to fall outside the upper bracket flanges see Figure "B". Please note
that the nuts, bolts and clips may be placed in various locations depending upon your specific model.

TTACH THE ASSEMBLY TO THE FRAME
The three existing slots in the frame rail will be used in addition to one hole drilled in the frame rail to attach the upper
bracket. The slots will have to be enlarged to allow the bolts to pass through. Place the upper bracket on the outside
of the frame rail, aligning the holes in the bracket with the slots in the frame see Figure "A". Using the upper bracket
as a template, mark the hole to be drilled in the frame rail with a center punch. Remove the upper bracket and drill a
hole on the center mark using a 7/16" drill bit. Before drilling, make sure that all electrical, brake, and fuel lines
are cleared from the path of the drill bit. Damaging the lines can be avoided by inserting a piece of wood between
the frame rail and any lines in the path of the drill bit.
