. Support the axle with a floor jack and remove the front shocks. The shocks are limiting droop so make sure that the axle is
supported or it will fall when the shocks are removed. (21mm socket/wrench, 18mm socket/wrench)
6.
Slowly lower the axle, the coils will unload from the mounts and can be removed. Be careful not to stretch or damage any lines
connected to the axle or radius arms.

. If using radius arm kit, caster cams are required. Install caster cams now:
9a
. Remove the driver side stock alignment cam: Remove the cotter pin from the ball joint castle nut. Remove the castle nut from
the upper ball joint using a 24mm. With a brass hammer, strike the ball joint stud to dislodge the taper. Be careful not to damage the
threads. Remove stock alignment cam.
9b.
Install the new alignment cam: Make sure the arrow is pointing toward the front of the truck and the flat end of the cam is aligned
with the flat end of the knuckle. Use the old sleeve to tap the new one down onto the taper. Install the castle nut using a 24mm
[Torque to 69 ft-lbs]. Install the new cotter pin.
9c
. Repeat the previous steps for the opposite side.
10
. Lower the axle just enough to install the new coil springs. Place the original rubber isolator on top of the new coil and install.
Be careful to not stretch or damage any lines. Check the rotation/clocking of the coil to make sure it is properly seated in the lower
spring perch.
11
. Lift the axle high enough to connect the shocks but be careful not to lift the truck off of its supports. Use the original bolt on the
lower shock mount and tighten with an 18mm socket/wrench [Torque to factory spec]. Tighten the stem top nut using a 3/4” socket/
wrench. (Refer to shock Instructions)
12
. Slowly lower the axle after the shocks are installed.
13.
Remove the steering stabilizer from the factory frame bracket using a 15mm. Remove the bracket from the frame using an 18mm.
Remove the steering stabilizer from the drag link using an 18mm, then use a ball joint separator or a hammer to break the taper loose
and remove the stabilizer.
14
. Disconnect the drag link from the pitman arm. Remove the cotter pin using pliers, then the nut keeper, then remove the nut using
a 21mm. Remove the drag link from the pitman arm using a hammer or ball joint separator.
15.
Remove the stock pitman arm nut using a 46mm socket/wrench. Remove the pitman arm using a pitman arm puller.

. Line up the splines of the pitman arm with the sector shaft. Use thread locker on the threads and reuse the factory nut.
[Torque to 350 ft-lbs]
17
. Connect the drag link to the pitman arm using a 21mm [Torque to factory spec]. Reuse the nut keeper and install a new cotter pin.
