SPECIAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.
1994 model and newer Dodge 4WD pickups only:
It will be necessary to remove the inner fenderwell liner on late model 4WD Dodge trucks.
This is done by carefully driving the pin through the fasteners with a center punch (fig.
4). These fasteners will be reused along with a special spacer to reattach the line and
provide clearance for the air spring. (See page 10 for reinstallation instructions.)

2.
Ford trucks only:
When installing the upper bracket on an F-250 or F-350, the mounting bolt holes can
line up directly over the indent in the frame. This is an acceptable situation and is an
approved method of installation for the product (fig. 5). Torque the mounting hardware
to specifications, as noted. Do not over torque.

3. For 1999 and later SuperDuty F-250 and F-350 trucks:
Remove the bolt which holds the emergency brake cable to the outside of the frame
rail. Reinstall the bolt in the reverse order, with the nut on the inside of the frame rail,
to prevent rubbing against the air spring (fig. 6).
FAILURE TO SWITCH THIS BOLT WILL CAUSE AIR SPRING TO RUPTURE.
