8. Install upper airspring/shock crossmember. This crossmember will be located by the OEM upper shock brackets. You will also need to drill 2 additional mounting hole in each framerail, using the crossmember as a template, to complete the installation. 9. This is a close up view of the upper airspring/shock crossmember installation. 10. Install the upper control arm frame mount onto the gas tank crossmember.

NOTE: Due to the various locations of the emissions equipment, etc. over the years, you may need to relocate items such as the charcoal canister, fuel lines, brake lines, and electrical wiring. A little thought and care goes a long way here! Typically the fuel lines, brake lines and wiring can be simply move aside if they are in the way, while the charcoal canister may need to be repositioned entirely. 11. Install the lower bars into the axle bracket and the OEM leafspring mount.

13. Install the airsprings into the upper and lower airspring/shock crossmembers. Be sure to use the supplied lower plates under the bottom of the airspring to prevent damage to the airspring when fully deflated. 14. Install shocks into the upper and lower airspring/shock crossmembers using the supplied shock studs on the bottom and the supplied bolts on top. When properly installed these shocks will not bottom out under full deflation and will capture the airspring extension under full inflation.
