Required Tools:

1/2" Wrench or Socket

1. With the vehicle unloaded and/or trailer disconnected on
a level surface, set parking brakes and chock drive tires
to prevent the vehicle from rolling forward or backward.
Failure to properly secure the vehicle prior
to commencing work could create a crush
hazard which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
2. Put suspension in the in-service position with no air
pressure in the suspension air springs. Exhaust the air
pressure using the air pressure regulator or control valve.
Failure to exhaust the suspension air
and chock the tires prior to beginning
maintenance could allow vehicle
movement which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
3. Using a wrench and socket, remove and discard the
upper pivot bolt, locknut and flat washers (Figure 1).
4. Using a 1-1/8" wrench and socket, remove and discard the
lower 3/4" lift bracket locknut and flat washers (Figure 2).
5. Use a small pry bar to pry the clevis downward to
overcome the return spring force. This will allow the
removal of the lower lift bracket 3/4" bolt and washer.
Discard the 3/4" washer and lower lift bracket 3/4" bolt.
6. Using a 1/2" wrench or socket to remove and retain the
upper 5/16" bolt and lock washer from the clevis. Remove
and discard the clevis pin assembly and lower lift bracket.
7. Install the new upper pivot bolt and flat washer.
8. When installing the new lower lift bracket you first have
to determine which generation of frame bracket that is
installed (Figure 3 and 4). Once determined if the shim
is needed, install the new lower lift bracket onto the new
upper pivot bolt with or without the shim. Install the flat
washer with a new locknut and hand tighten the locknut.
