Step 1
Remove the nuts of the body support blocks of the main body frame. Body support blocks are rubber blocks that supports the main body frame. They sit between the body and chassis.
-
Step 2
Take off the coolant radiator tank. Remove the water hose from the engine bay. All of the fuel lines and hoses that separate the chassis and the body will need to be removed also. After that, detach the fuel hose from the fuel tank and the brake lines from the body and chassis.
-
Step 3
Continue with the removal process of the steering rod, bumper and any lines and wiring that are still connected between the body and chassis.
-
Step 4
Take the hydraulic jack and use it on the body. Make sure to jack the body and not the chassis. The body should be jacked 7 inches away from the chassis. When doing this, be careful to use the jack stand. You don't want the unsupported jack to collapse and injure anyone working underneath it.
-
Step 5
Extract all the bolts that are in the supports. You will need to lift the carpet to make sure all the bolts have been removed or to remove more of them.
-
Step 6
Now that all the bolts have been removed, you can take off the support blocks and install the new lift blocks. After you have installed the new lift blocks, lower the jack until body attaches to the blocks.
-
Step 7
Connect and tighten the new bolts. The nuts need to be secure and tight.
-
Step 8
Put the coolant radiator tank back in with the new relocation bracket that came with the kit.
-
Step 9
With the hose extension, reinstall the fuel and brake lines. Install the new steering rod. Then reinstall the bumper with the relocation adaptor that came with the kit.
