Product Usage Instructions
Installation Instructions
- Park the vehicle on a hard, level surface and engage the emergency brake. Place chocks in front and behind 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 the safety jack stands rated for the vehicle. Removal of the rear wheels is optional.
- Remove the factory bump stop from the underside of the frame by pulling and twisting the rubber tabs out of the frame brackets.
- Remove the Sumosprings from the box.
- Working from forward of the axle, insert the top REAR tab (end with the cut-out notch) at an angle, into the rear part of the frame bracket. Push the SumoSpring to the rear so the tab is seated as far back into the frame bracket as possible.
- With the cut-out notch seated fully rearward, grab one corner of the front tab of the SumoSprings with long nosed pliers or vice-grips and turn it up under force to just start the front tab into the front frame bracket.
- Once the corner of the tab is started into the bracket, use a flat spade screwdriver or small hand-held pry tool to continue pushing the remaining portion of the tab into place.
- Once the front tab is in place in the frame bracket, push the whole SumoSpring forward to seat it in place.
- The SumoSpring should now be fully seated and centered over the axle looking similar to the original factory bump stop.
- Repeat steps 3 through 9 on the passenger side of the vehicle.
- If rear wheels were removed, you can now reinstall the rear wheels.
- Jack up the vehicle, remove safety jack stands, and carefully lower the vehicle to the hard surface. Remove wheel chocks.
- Register the warranty for your SuperSprings International part.
A warranty card can be found in the box your part came in.
