CAUTION: BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.
READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY.
1. Raise up the rear end with a floor jack. Place jack stands under frame, but also allow the rear suspension to move up and
down freely with the floor jack.
2. Disconnect lower shock mount bolts/nuts. Lower axle with floor jack so that the rear axle droops and the coil springs
become loose.
3. Disconnect the panhard bar at the drivers side of the axle.
4. Remove the coil spring and the coil spring isolator/bump-stop.
5. Place the isolator/bump-stop into the new coil spring spacer and then onto the frame. Reinstall the coil
spring in between the coil spring spacer and the axle. (Note: you may have to pry the coil spring onto the axle pad.)
6. Raise up the rear suspension with floor jack so that the coil spring seats into the coil spring spacer and on the axle pad.
Reconnect the lower shocks mount bolts/nuts and reconnect the panhard bar.
7. Raise up the rear of the vehicle, remove the jack stands and lower the vehicle. Check all bolts/nuts for tightness and
recheck after 500 miles.

Final Notes:
- After installation is complete, double check that all nuts and bolts are tight. Check to ensure there is adequate clearance
between all rotating, mobile, and fixed members.
- Ensure there is adequate clearance between exhaust and brakelines, fuel lines, fuel tank, floor board, and wiring harness
es. Check steering gear for interference and proper working order. Inspect brakelines for damages and adequate clear-
ance.
- With the vehicle on the floor, cycle steering lock to lock and inspect steering, suspension, driveline
and brakeline systems for proper operation, tightness and adequate clearance.
- Have headlights readjusted to proper settings.
- Have a qualified alignment center check and realign to factory specifications.
