ATTACHING THE UPPER BRACKET
1. The elbow fitting points toward the rear of the vehicle on the driver’s side and toward
the front of the vehicle on the passenger’s side.
2. Insert two 3/8” bolts (H) and flat washers (J) through the existing jounce bumper
holes and through the slotted holes in the upper bracket (Fig. 7).
It may be helpful to raise the axle at this point so that the upper bracket touches the frame.
3. Attach the upper bracket using two flat washers (J) and nylon lock nuts (L) on each
previously installed bolt (Fig. 7).
4. Push the bracket inboard and tighten both upper bolts.
There should be a thumbs width between the air spring roll plate (D) and the leaf spring
U-bolt.
ALIGNING AND ATTACHING THE ASSEMBLY
AND LOWER BRACKET
1. Bring the axle all the way up and remove the jack stands previously used to support
the frame when removing the jounce bumper.
The upper bracket is slotted for forward and backward adjustment. The bottom adjusts by
moving the bracket on the axle in or out (Fig. 8).
2. Adjust the assembly so that the air spring is perpendicular to the bottom and top
mounting brackets.
3. Tighten the top mounting bolts to 20 lb.-ft. (27Nm).
