The factory exhaust hangers need to be cut off and ground smooth for upper bridge clearance. 2. Drill and tap a 3/8”-16 hole directly in the center of the two OEM bump stop holes. This is the location for your new shorter bump stop. 3. Install the upper bridge assembly between frame rails.

. Bolt lower bridge assembly to axle using 5/8” x 6-1/2” bolts. The bolt in the upper bracket will align the bridge with leaf spring alignment pin. Tighten the bolts evenly. 5. Align frame bracket with the hole in the leaf spring hanger. Drill remaining 2 holes. Use the 7/16” x 1” bolts to secure. 6. Install upper and lower bars using the 5/8” x 2-3/4” bolts supplied. The lower front bar uses the factory bolt. The upper bar is slightly shorter.

9. Thread the air fitting into the top of the air spring, using a thread sealant. 10. Fasten the air spring to the upper and lower bridges; use the 3/8” x 1” bolts and snug.

Note: The air spring in the picture is different that the one you will be installing. 11. Remove the rear two bridge bolts from the bottom of the frame.
