Product Usage Instructions
Before You Begin
We recommend installation be done by a professional or persons with sound mechanical knowledge. Never exceed the manufacturer’s Gross Vehicle Rating (GVWR) located on your vehicle’s identification tag.
Before installation, ensure the vehicle is on a level surface, the parking brake is ON, with the ignition OFF, and place blocks in front of and behind the front tires to prevent the vehicle from moving.
During and/or After Installation
Ensure emergency brake cables are not touching the SuperSprings. Secure any cables out of the way with zip ties or by re-routing. Ensure all A/C lines, brake cables, and frame are clear of contact or interference.
Installation
- Park the vehicle on a level hard surface. Place wheel blocks in front and behind the front wheels to prevent rolling. Observe all safety precautions and wear safety glasses.
- Raise the rear of the vehicle, allowing the axle to hang free, and rest the frame on safety jack stands rated for the weight of the vehicle. Removal of the rear wheels is optional.
- Starting on the driver side, un-bolt and remove the factory jounce bumper from the underside of the frame.
- Attach the SumoSpring with Upper Bracket to the bottom of the frame. Ensure proper orientation with SumoSpring offset inboard (away from the wheel). Insert the mounting stud of the upper bracket into the hole in the frame where the factory bump stop was removed. Fasten securely using one 3/8 Flat Washer and one 3/8 Nyloc Nut.
- Place two 3/8 x 6 Carriage Bolts in the recessed holes of the Lower Bracket.
- Attach Lower Bracket to the bottom half of SumoSpring using one 3/8 FHCS. Place a drop of blue locktite on the threads and torque to 30 lbs.
