(82-3692) using the supplied bushings (15-
11148) and sleeves (90-2108) from hardware
pack (90-6515). See ILLUSTRATION 3.
2. Rotate the front differential until the case bolt
heads are oriented up. Carefully remove the fac-
tory bolts from the differential as shown in IL-
LUSTRATION 3.
NOTE: You will probably notice some dif-
ferential oil seeping from the area where the
bolts are removed. This is normal and not
something to worry about.
If you do not stand the differential as di-
rected, you will see a LOT more oil on your
floor.
3. Place front differential support bracket (82-
3692) on the front differential as shown in IL-
LUSTRATION 3. Secure support bracket using
the supplied 10mm X 60mm bolts and washers,
7/16” X 3” bolt and hardware from pack 90-
6251. Torque these fasteners to 32 ft. lbs. See
ILLUSTRATION 3.
4. Install the driver side differential drop (82-
3701) into the factory frame location using the
OE bolts and hardware. Hand tighten only.

side differential drop (82-3704) to the factory
frame location as shown in ILLUSTRATION 5.
