3. For 1999 and later Super Duty F-250 and F-350 trucks:
FAILURE TO SWITCH THIS BOLT WILL CAUSE AIR SPRING TO RUPTURE.
CAUTION
6
It will be necessary to remove the inner fender well liner on late-model 4WD Dodge
trucks. This is done by carefully driving the pin through the fasteners with a center punch
(fig. 4). These fasteners will be reused along with a special spacer to reattach the liner
and provide clearance for the air spring (See page 13 for reinstallation instructions).
When installing the upper bracket on an F-250 or F-350, the mounting bolt holes
can line up directly over the indent in the frame. This is an acceptable situation and
is an approved method of installation for the product (fig. 5). Torque the mounting
hardware to specifications, as noted. Do not over torque.
Frame
Remove the bolt that holds the emergency brake cable to the outside of the frame
rail. Reinstall the bolt in the reverse order, with the nut on the inside of the frame rail,
to prevent rubbing against the air spring (fig. 6).
