-
Your upper and lower brackets may look different depending on the ReadyAIR Kit you have.
-
Un-bolt the two 3/8" bolts holding the upper bracket to the air spring.
-
Repeat for passenger side.
-
Unless installing a 1" lift, remove the one 3/8" bolt holding the lower bracket to the air spring and remove from vehicle.
-
Repeat for passenger side.
-
-
-
Reference the lift amount step in the following steps that matches your lift block amount and then follow the steps to Prepare your A, B and Final spacers accordingly.
-
-
-
Bolt one lift spacer between the air spring and upper bracket using the "AIR SPRING" holes and supplied 1.75" long 3/8" bolts with flat washers. Apply some threadlocker to each bolt.
-
Torque the 3/8" hardware to 15 FT. LB.
