LOWERING THE SUSPENSION
It will be necessary to lower the suspension of the vehicle in order to provide clearance to
install the air spring unit (g. 6). The following are tips on lowering the axle or raising the
frame. Please review them and determine how to proceed:
1. If the vehicle is raised with an axle contact hoist, place axle stands under the frame and
lower the axle as needed.
2. If the vehicle is raised with a frame contact hoist, place axle stands under the axle and
lower the frame as needed.
3. If the vehicle is raised with a jack and supported with axle stands on the frame, use a
oor jack to lower the axle.
ATTACHING THE UPPER BRACKET
1. Unbolt and remove the rubber jounce bumper from the frame rail and discard (g. 7).
