WARNINGS & DISCLAIMERS

By installing this product you acknowledge that the suspension of this vehicle has been modified. As a result, this vehicle may handle differently than that of factory-equipped vehicles.

Always wear seat belts, and drive safely, recognizing that reduced speeds and specialized driving techniques may be required. Failure to drive this vehicle safely may result in serious injury or death. Do not drive this vehicle unless you are familiar with its unique handling characteristics and are confident of your ability to maintain control under all driving conditions. Some modifications (and combinations of modifications) are not recommended and may not be permitted in your state. Consult your owner’s manual, the instructions accompanying this product, and state laws before undertaking these modifications. You are responsible for the legality and safety of the vehicle you modify using these components.

    • Un-bolt one side of the pan-hard bar.

    • Un-bolt the lower shock bolt on each side.

    • Now there should be enough room to remove the factory coil springs and isolators.

    • Check the spring perches to ensure all pieces have been removed and there is no debris in the mounting areas.

  3. Place the weld nut bracket on top of the crossmember, with the bent tab facing the front of the truck, and line it up with the two holes shown. Apply some threadlocker to two of the provided 1/2" bolts. Using a 3/4" socket with an extension, thread the 1/2" bolts, with washers, into the weld nuts.

    • Using a 3/4" socket with an extension, thread the 1/2" bolts, with washers, into the weld nuts.

    • The weld nut bracket will likely move around so you will need to hold it in place to line up the bolts with the weld nuts.

    • Torque the bolts to 75 FT. LB.

    • Repeat process for passenger side.

    • MAKE SURE THE UPPER BRACKET HOLE IS ORIENTED TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK.

    • Ensure the wrap extends at-least 12 inches in front and behind the air spring (more is better if there is enough wrap).

    • Trim any excess clamp stick-out with a pair of metal snips.

    • When used with an on-board air management system, refer to the on-board air management system installation instructions before routing the air lines.

    • When not using an on-board air management system, mount inflation valves at desired location using 5/16" drill bit

    • Route air line from each inflation valve to each air fitting on both of the air spring assemblies. Avoid hot exhaust and sharp edges. Cut air line square and free from burrs with air line cutter or razor blade!

    • Check for leaks at fittings with soapy water.

    • Verify all fasteners are torqued properly.

    • Use a tape measure and inflate the air springs until the ride height matches the original ride height measurement from center of rear fender arch to ground. Note – This will be your unloaded air spring pressure setting and can be varied from 0” to +3” based on user preference.
