3. Set the left assembly (with the L on the bracket) on the left (driver’s) side of the axle.
Repeat for the right (passenger’s) side.
The fitting on both air springs will be inboard.
4. While raising the assembly, line up the bolt previously installed with the back hole on the
bracket. Set the new ABS line holder over the bolt once the upper bracket is in place
and cap with a flat washer (S) and nylon lock nut (R) (fig. 18). Leave loose at this time.
There are two ways to attach the front side of the upper bracket depending on whether
the truck has a fifth-wheel bracket running alongside the frame or not.
For vehicles with NO fifth-wheel bracket along the side of the frame, perform the
following steps:
On late model vehicles, there is a heat shield above and forward of the axle, on the
passenger (right) hand side of the vehicle that will be in the way of the U-bolt. For models
without a heat shield, proceed to step 7.
HEAT SHIELD HAS SHARP EDGES, USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THE BOLT.
5. Using a ratcheting wrench, remove the bolt that holds the heat shield on the frame above
and forward of the axle. Set the bolt aside (fig. 19).
6. Set a U-bolt (L) into position around the frame (fig 20). Set spacer (KK) between the frame
and heat shield and reattach the heat shield with the stock bolt previously removed.
