SuperSprings
Installation Guide
For
vehicles fitted with leaf spring systems only.
Step
1 Using the Jack on
the chassis raise the vehicle so that the back wheel lifts slightly
off the ground. The main spring pack will then be at its loosest. Do
not jack vehicle up on the differential.
Step
2 If the vehicle's spring
pack is located below the axle: Slip SuperSpring over the wheel, or
slide it in from behind. Place the widest part of the Stabilizer
Spring on the axle, between the U-Bolts. Skip 3.
OR
Step 3
If the vehicle's spring pack is located above the axle: Place the
mounting bracket on the existing spring pack before placing the
SuperSpring on top. Using the U-bolts supplied attach the mounting
bracket to the existing spring pack. This will create the required
torsion between the two spring systems (created by the axle in 2a).
Once installed, the pressure between the two spring systems will
keep the spacers in place. Use 1/4" bolt to secure spring to
mounting kit.
Step
4 Ensure that any
brake pipes and cables that could be squashed by the blades are out
of the way. Attach bolt on front shackle, do not forget both
sleeves.
Step
5 Using a C-Clamp or
ratchet clamp, pull down the rear shackle and attach bolt on back
shackle. Tighten down long bolt - but - DO NOT TIGHTEN TOP BOLTS!!
Step
6 Ensure the shackle
does not touch the edge of the second blade. If so move the
SuperSpring over slightly.
Step
7 Let down the vehicle
and remove jack. If mounting kit was installed, retighten all
U-Bolts.
Step
8 Repeat on the other
wheel.
Step
9 Remember to ensure
brake cables are not touching the SuperSprings blade. Secure them
out of the way with the use of nylon ty-wraps.
Step
10 Initially the rear
of the vehicle will be approximately 11/2" higher than before.
This will settle to approximately 1 inch after a few months of use.
