Getting Started
IMPORTANT NOTES
1 . Your vehicle may be equipped with a rear brake proportioning valve . Any type of
load assist suspension product could effect brake performance . We recommend that
you check with your dealer before installing this type of product . If your vehicle does
not have a proportioning valve or is equipped with an anti-lock brake system, no
adjustment or modification is required .
2 . Before proceeding with installation, measure the opening from the frame rail to the
brake drum or the tire, which ever is closest to frame . The measurement must be a
minimum of 7 inches (Fig . 2) . If spacing is good, raise vehicle, remove rear wheels
and support frame with safety stands .

may not have sufficient clearance
between the frame and the tire, or
the brake drum and the frame. Before
attempting to install this kit, check to
be sure thre is a MINIMUM clearance
of 7” between the tire and frame or
the brake drum and frame. Clearance
of less than 7” could result in damage
to the tire and/or air spring and void
the warranty.
