1. Raise and support truck at a comfortable working height. You will need to support the truck by the frame ahead of the leafspring mounts. You will also need to support the axle housing with three jackstands, two under the axle tubes inboard of the leafspring pads and one under the pinion yoke to keep the axle housing from falling when the leafsprings are removed. 2. Remove the leafsprings.

.

3. Remove the leafspring overload bracket and install the upper AirBar frame bracket into it’s place. There will be extra holes to drill. The bottom bar is installed into the oem leafspring hangar. 4. Repeat this procedure for the passenger side

5. Install the AirBar bridge mount assembly. You will probably need help for this as the bridge is large and heavy. Tighten the bolts evenly.
