1. Place wheel with blocks in front and behind the front tires.
2. Lift rear of vehicle and support with jack stands on each side. Make sure vehicle
is stable.
3. Support rear differential with a floor jack.
4. Loosen the 4 U-bolt nuts on the passenger side. Pull U-bolts up and out. Remove the axle mounting
plate. Lower the floor jack down until there is 3 inches of space between the leaf spring and the rear
axle.
5. Place new lift block between the leaf spring and axle with the alignment dowel pins lined up.
