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 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 bro-
chure 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, by prying them out of the jounce bumper cup. The jounce bumpers
will not be re-used with this kit but the bolts will be reused.
STEP 2 – PREASSEMBLY
Select one Work-Rite load assist and one face plate for the kit. Attach the Work-Rite to the face plate using the 3/8"-
16 x 1" hex bolt, flat washer, and lock nut. See Figure “A”.
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 face plate. If the spacers are installed, use the 3/8"-16 x 2" bolts instaed
of the 3/8"-16 x 1" bolts. There should be 1/4" to 3/8" between the Work-Rite and the jounce stop. See Figure
“B”.
STEP 3 – INSTALLING THE ASSEMBLY ONTO THE VEHICLE
Select one spacer ring from your kit and place it around the jounce bumper cup. Place the assembly against
the bottom of the jounce bumper cup and align the holes in the face plate with the holes in the spacer ring. Place the
clamp rings on top of the space ring, aligning the holes. Insert the 3/8"-16 x 1-1/2" flat head bolts into the tapered
holes on the face plate and secure to the clamp ring with the flange lock nuts. See Figures “A” & “B”.
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!
