Installation
1. INSERT COIL SPRING RETAINER
Locate the 5/8” hole in the center of the lower
spring mount on the rear axle.
Place Coil Spring Retainer (A) inside the spring by
sliding it between the coils. Make sure at side of
Coil Spring Retainer faces down.
Position Coil Spring Retainer (A) directly on the
lower spring mount as illustrated.
2. SECURE SPRING RETAINER TO LOWER
SPRING MOUNT
Insert 7/16” x 1-1/2” Flathead Socket Screw (B) into
tapered hole in center of Coil Spring Retainer (A),
and through the hole in the lower spring mount.
From beneath spring mount, slide a 7/16” Flat
Washer (C) onto threads of Flathead Socket
Screw (B) and install the 7/16” Nylock Nut (D).
Secure the Coil Spring Retainer (A) to the lower
spring mount by tightening the mounting hard-
ware. Use a 1/4” Allen Wrench to prevent the 7/16”

and tighten the 7/16” Nylock Nut (D) to 35 ft-lbs.
Make sure the Coil Spring Retainer (A) is perfectly
