This spacer is required if the distance between the upper bracket and the lower bracket is 6.75-7.5″. Otherwise, it is not required.

REMOVING THE JOUNCE BUMPER AND INSTALLING THE UPPER MOUNTING BRACKET

• STEP1.
  Raise the vehicle and support it using safety stands so that the axle can be safely dropped away from the frame, and the air spring assemblies can be put into position between the axle and frame.

• STEP2.
  Remove the jounce bumper from the frame.

• STEP3.
  Thread the hex flange bolt to the bottom of the frame that we just removed the jounce bumper from. Leave about a half inch between the bottom of the frame and the bolt head there.

• STEP4.
  Install the upper mounting bracket, let the flange bolt pass through the keyway in the bracket, then lock the bolt to the frame.

• STEP 5.
  Remove the brake line bracket under the leaf spring on both sides. Remove the plastic clip from the ABS line between the leaf spring and the wheel.

• STEP6.
  Measure the distance between the bottom of the top plate and the top of the bottom plate, and if it’s between 6.75″-7.5″at the factory ride height, the spacers included in the kit will be used.
