Installation Procedures:
1. Before you remove anything off the truck, measure the pinion angle on the bottom of the differential. Make sure to record the measurement here _____. Once the kit is installed, it is required to put the axle back to this measurement. This will keep the correct caster and camber.
2. Remove the transmission skid plate and then remove the front driveshaft. Take it to a drive line shop and have it extended 1 1/8”. Disconnect the sway bar end links and remove the sway bar. Place a jack under the differential and lift the truck until the wheels are 4-5” off the ground. Place a jack stand on each side of the frame, right under the radiator support. Remove the tires, shocks and steering arm, pan-hard bar / trac bar, sway bar and pitman arm. Let the jack down and remove the coil springs (they should have little tension left on them). NOTE: Set the lower shock bolt and nut aside as they will used in step 10.
