PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
Check the vehicle wheel alignment prior to installation to ensure no condition exists, record the information for verification. Remove the attached body, if applicable. Remember to disconnect all electrical connections from the body, and filler tube, before the body. The installation can be completed using a lift to raise the vehicle. When using a lift, chassis body removal may not be necessary, but removing the rear wheels will aid in installation.

DRIVER SIDE DISASSEMBLY
1. With weight taken out of the rear springs, as indicated in the pre-installation checklist, remove the rear leaf spring hanger bracket and the rear overload spring bracket. See Figure 2-1. These can be removed by grinding, or air Chiseling, the heads of the factory installed rivets, and using a hammer and punch to the rest of nail removal.
2. Remove the front spring hanger bracket and the front end overload spring bracket. (See Figure 2-2).
3. Remove the existing U-bolts that attach the axle to the leaf spring and keep the OE U-bolt plate for later use. (See Figure 2-3) After this is done, the axle, spring, and hanger loose. Remove the spring and the hanger from the ashes.
