REMOVING THE JOUNCE BUMPER AND POSITIONING
THE ASSEMBLY ON THE AXLE
1. Remove both jounce bumpers under the frame rail and discard.
On the 2500 HD models only, the driver’s side of the axle may have a small bracket with a
nut that has nothing attached to it. This bracket must be trimmed off of the axle in order to
install the assembly (Fig. 5a).
2500 HD models:
1. Set the assembly that has the cinch bolt onto the driver’s side.
It will be necessary to index the lower legs under the jounce bumper strike plate.
2. With the lower bracket parallel to the strike plate, hook one leg under the side of the
strike plate and turn the assembly until the other leg is under the strike plate on the
other side (Fig. 5b).
3. Once the legs are under the strike plate, proceed with the upper bracket instructions.
NOTE
NOTE
