NORMAL RIDE HEIGHT
This is defined as the distance between the bottom edge of the wheel well to the center
point of the wheel with the vehicle in an “as delivered condition” (without a load, i .e . tool
box, camper, etc .) measurements should be taken before beginning the installation . The
distance from the bottom edge of the wheel well to the center point of the wheel should
be recorded . All of our kits are designed to be installed and operated at normal ride height .
1 . Raise axle or lower frame until leaf spring is in the normal ride height (no load)
position .
2 . Check the distance between the center of the hub and the bottom edge of the wheel
well to ensure that it is at the normal ride height measurement taken above . If not,
raise the frame or lower the axle as necessary to restore the original distance . The
vehicle must be at normal ride height before installing the upper bracket .
ASSEMBLING THE ALIGNMENT TOOL
1 . Assemble the upper and lower bracket to the alignment tool . This tool is designed
to help you properly install the kit for correct height and alignment . The range of
adjustment to attain the correct mounted height is determined by the upper threaded
section of the tool . The kit may be mounted anywhere in that range (Fig . 3) .
2 . Place the upper bracket “legs down” onto the threaded end of the tool resting on the
bottom nylon nut . Then thread a second nylon nut onto the tool to hold the bracket in
place . Leave loose for later adjustment . (Fig . 3) .
3 . Use the 1/2” x 7/8” hex head bolt and flat washer to attach the lower bracket to the
bottom of the installation tool with the open edge of the lower bracket toward the
legs of the upper bracket . Leave loose enough to adjust in and out (Fig . 3) .
