INTRODUCTION
Installation requires a professional mechanic. Prior to beginning, inspect the vehicles steering,
driveline, and brake systems, paying close attention to the suspension link arms and bushings,
anti-sway bars and bushings, tie rod ends, pitman arm, ball joints and wheel bearings. Also check
the steering sector-to-frame and all suspension-to-frame attaching points for stress cracks. The
overall vehicle must be in excellent working condition; repair or replace all worn parts.
Read instructions several times before starting. Be sure you have all needed parts and
know where they install. Read each step completely as you go.
NOTES:
Welding is required. Refer to steps 11 and 20.
Rear lift is sold separately and includes separate instructions.
An arrow on diagrams indicates which direction is toward the front of the vehicle.
A foot-pound torque reading is given in parenthesis ( ) after each appropriate fastener.
Do not fabricate any components to gain additional suspension height.
Prior to drilling or cutting, check behind the surface being worked on for any wires, lines, or
hoses that could be damaged.
After drilling, file smooth any burrs and sharp edges.
Prior to operating a torch or saw, protect any heat-sensitive components located in the
immediate area by covering them with a water-saturated cloth. Most undercoating are
flammable but can be extinguished using a water-filled spray bottle. Have a spray bottle
and an ABC rated fire extinguisher on hand.
Paint or undercoat all exposed metal surfaces.
Prior to attaching components, be sure all mating surfaces are free of grit, grease,
undercoating, etc.
A factory service manual should be on hand for reference.
Use the check-off box "" found at each step to help you keep your place. Two ""
denotes that one check-off box is for the driver side and one is for the passenger side.
Unless otherwise noted, always start with the driver side.
