STEP 1 - PREPARE THE VEHICLE

With the vehicle is on a solid level surface, chock the front wheels. This vehicle does not have to be raised up to

install the kit. Remove the negative battery cable. This installation assumes that there is no load on the vehicle.

TEP 2 - PREASSEMBLE THE KIT

Select two Work-Rite bumpers and an upper bracket from your kit. Fasten the upper bracket to the Work-Rite

bumpers using the 3/8" -16 x 1-1/2" hex bolts inserted into the bottom of the bumpers, through the top hole, and into the

holes in the upper bracket. Secure with a flanged hex nut. See Figure "A".

TEP 3 - PREPARE THE FRAME

The frame rail on the driver's side of the vehicle will require the relocation of three items that will interfere with the

upper bracket and air spring. This is accomplished by relocating the existing nuts, bolts, and clips on the frame rail that

fall between the upper bracket flanges.

1.) The emergency brake line clip will be moved toward the rear of the vehicle see Figure "B".

2.) The plastic line harness located on the inside of the frame rail will be moved 2-1/4" toward the rear of the

vehicle. Two 3/8" holes will have to be drilled to relocate the line harness see Figure "B".

3.) The ground strap bolt must be relocated to fall outside the upper bracket flanges see Figure "B". Please note

that the nuts, bolts and clips may be placed in various locations depending upon your specific model.

TEP 4 - ATTACH THE ASSEMBLY TO THE FRAME

The three existing slots in the frame rail will be used in addition to one hole drilled in the frame rail to attach the upper

bracket. The slots will have to be enlarged to allow the bolts to pass through. Place the upper bracket on the outside

of the frame rail, aligning the holes in the bracket with the slots in the frame see Figure "A". Using the upper bracket

as a template, mark the hole to be drilled in the frame rail with a center punch. Remove the upper bracket and drill a

hole on the center mark using a 7/16" drill bit. Before drilling, make sure that all electrical, brake, and fuel lines

are cleared from the path of the drill bit. Damaging the lines can be avoided by inserting a piece of wood between

the frame rail and any lines in the path of the drill bit.
