Disassembly / Installation Procedure

 

1.) Begin by loosening the lug nuts on both front tires. Raise the unit, using a suitable lifting device or procedure, until the front tires are off the ground. If using a floor jack with stands, chock the rear wheels to prevent the unit from rolling. If using jack stands, make sure the stands are placed under the frame and not the body. Make sure the unit is stable and secure.

 

2.)Remove the tires / wheels.

 

NOTE: Now is a good time to check the threads on the lug studs. Check for rust, pulled threads or other deterioration that could cause a stud/thread failure.

Position one each of the 05 and 06 brackets along the outside of the factory shock mounting brackets. Take one of the 12x80mm bolts and insert it thru the bracket and factory mount, with the supplied spacer inside the factory mount, and through the bracket on the other side. Attach the brackets to the frame using the supplied u-bolts, make sure to install a washer beneath the nut. Repeat this procedure on the opposite side. Move the shock back into position, it will be necessary to place a washer on either side of the shock before installing the supplied bolt. Repeat on the other side. Tighten all bolts at this point.
