Jack-it, Inc. strongly recommends this kit be installed by a professional mechanic. Installing this kit will not strengthen or reinforce the stock frame of the vehicle, nor will it increase rollover protection. This kit is designed to level the front end of the vehicle in relation to the height of the rear end. We strongly advise you to operate your vehicle responsibly at all times and that you periodically inspect all suspension and drive train components for tightness of fit or for any damage.
Prior to Installation inspect vehicle’s frame for stress cracks paying extra attention to the steering box and suspension to frame attaching points. Carefully inspect track bar, steering system, drive line system, ball joints and wheel bearings–the entire vehicle must be in top working condition. Repair or replace any broken or worn parts. Always wear safety glasses and use proper precautions to secure and block vehicle prior to installation.
Parts List
Match parts and hardware to parts lists before starting kit install. Jack-it Accessories will be happy to replace any missing or defective parts (replacement parts are shipped no charge UPS Ground–express shipping is offered for an additional charge).
Installation:
- With vehicle on the ground, unbolt the front track bar from the vehicle at frame on the drivers side. Remove the stock bolt that holds the track bar to the bracket. Save the bracket hardware—bolt, nut—they will be used later
- Block rear tires so vehicle cannot roll. Raise the front of the vehicle high enough to support frame with a jack stand behind the front spring and then remove the front tire. It does not matter which side of the vehicle you do first.
- Support front axle with a floor jack—only do one side at a time so the axle is supported on the opposite side of the truck by the factory u-bolts.
- Remove factory u-bolts from the side that is supported by the floor jack and then lower the axle away from the spring.
- Remove sway bar end link bolt.
- Using large C-clamps or a large bench vice, hold the spring securely together. Remove the center pin bolt–use vise-grips to hold the head of the pin.
- Using the same procedure described in step 7, remove the center pin bolt in the 82201 spring pack (neither this pin bolt nor the pin bolt removed from the factory pack will be re-used).
