We recommend the use of a Loctite or similar adhesive on all steering hardware. Connect the lower steering shaft to the steering extension. Realign the marks on the upper and lower steering shaft. Insert the male end of the steering extension into the lower steering shaft. Insert the stock bolt through the lower steering shaft, the steering extension, and threading into the stock nut.
If the vehicle is equipped with fog lights under the front bumper, disconnect the wiring from the connector going to the fog lights. If the vehicle is equipped with tow hooks, remove the three bolts mount each tow hook to the frame cross member behind the bumper.
The tow hooks will not be reused. Remove the four 4 nuts two on each side that mount the front bumper to the frame. Remove the front bumper from the vehicle. Record these measurements for proper alignment after the lifting operation is complete. Loosen, but do not remove all six 6 cab mounting bolts. They are located as follows one on each side ; at the front of the vehicle on each side of the radiator, in the front floorboard, and behind the front seat at the rear of the cab.
Be sure that the doors are closed. This will help prevent the cab from flexing during the lifting operation. Using a hydraulic jack and a wooden block, slowly lift the passenger side of the cab just high enough to place the spacer blocks on the mounting pads. Be sure to continually check for any hoses, wires, cables, etc.
Remove the front mounting pad from the vehicle. This will allow the new bolt to slide all the way through the sleeve. Replace the bushing on the vehicle. Place the spacer blocks on top of the stock rubber mounting bushings. Install the stock nut on the bolt. Do Not tighten.
Be sure that all stock washers, bushings, and other mounting hardware except the stock bolts are in the original locations. Lower the body onto the spacer blocks. Remove the jack from the passenger side of the cab. Realign the cab and bed refer to the measurements made earlier. Tighten all cab mounting bolts securely. The filler hose will need to be lengthened.
If the vehicle is equipped with a rear tow hook, remove the three 3 nuts that mount the tow hook to the frame. Remove the tow hook from the vehicle. Disconnect the license plate lights from the rear bumper.
Remove the two 2 bolts that mount the rear bumper brackets to the frame. Remove the rear bumper from the vehicle. A t torx socket is required to loosen the bed mounting bolts. Remove the bed mounting bolts on the passenger side of the bed only.
Using a hydraulic jack and a wooden block, slowly lift the passenger side of the bed just high enough to place the spacer blocks on the frame. Be sure to continually check for any wires, hoses, cables, etc. A 12mm x mm bolt is used in the front bed mount, and 12mm x mm bolts are used in the other locations. Realign the bed to the cab. Tighten all bed mounting bolts securely. Replace the carpeting to its original position. Replace the side kick panels on the front and in the rear extra cab only.
Do Not replace the shift boot assembly at this time. Replace the doorjamb kick plates. Tighten all mounting screws securely. Install the upper part of the shift lever onto the extension. Install the nut on the end of the wedge stud.
Tighten until the lever is securely in place. Reinstall the boot assembly. Tighten both mounting screws securely. On vehicles equipped with electronic 4 wheel drive shift control shift on the fly wrap the wire loom bracket supplied in the kit around the wires at the transfer case.
Be sure that there is ample slack in the wires. Tighten the mounting hardware securely. On vehicles equipped with manual 4 wheel drive, check the 4 wheel drive shift lever operation.
Check to see if the shift lever will engage in all 4 wheel drive ranges. Reinstall the shift boot assembly. Check the shift lever operation again. It may be necessary to modify the boot assembly to allow for proper shift lever operation. Mount the shift boot to the floorboard. Reinstall the shift knob. Be sure that there is ample engagement in all gears and 4 wheel drive ranges.
It may not be possible to reattach the cable to all of the mounting tabs, but attach it to as many as possible. Split the hose lengthwise. Secure the hose in place using two cable ties provided in the kit. Reattach the wire loom to the mounting bracket.
The large tube should be routed between the top of the cover. Be sure that there is ample slack in the line and that it is not rubbing on anything that could wear a hole in the line or hinder the operation of any component. Be sure that the lines have extended and are not binding.
If the lines are binding. Mount the rubber cushion that the radiator sat on in the radiator drop down tubes. The nipple on the bottom of the cushion should fit in the small hole in the tube. The top of the tube will mount to the bottom of the stock mount. Slide the tube with the cushion around the arm on the radiator so the arm will sit on the cushion. Mount the radiator drop down brackets to the core support where the radiator was originally mounted.
Mount the radiator mount to the stud on the radiator bracket. Adjust the fan to fan shroud clearance. It should be the same all the way around the radiator. Tighten all radiator mounting hardware. Reconnect any wires or hoses that were disconnected from the intake hose. Gasoline is highly explosive and can ignite with the slightest spark. Take precautions to prevent any leakage of fuel while the filler neck is disconnected. Fuel vapors can be harmful, be sure that the work area is well ventilated and free from sources of ignition cigarettes, fire, sparks, etc.
Cut the fuel filler hose approximately half way between the fuel tank and the filler neck. Remove the clamp that attaches the vent hose to the filler neck. Slide one 28 hose clamp over each piece of the filler hose top and bottom. Install the fuel filler extension between the two pieces of the filler hose. Make sure that the filler neck will reconnect to the body.
Adjust the hose as necessary. Tighten the hose clamps securely over the filler extension. Cut the vent hose into two pieces in the middle of the hose. Reconnect the upper part of the hose to the nipple on the filler neck. Slide one 10 hose clamp over each piece of hose. Insert the vent hose extension between the two pieces of the vent hose. Adjust the vent hose. Tighten the hose clamp securely. NOTE: some models are quipped with a larger diameter vent hose. This hose can be adjusted and reconnected without using the extension.
Reconnect the filler neck to the body. Install the stock mounting screws. Tighten the screws securely. Reinstall the filler cap. Be sure to complete this procedure for both sides of the vehicle. If you wish to reinstall the two hooks, the bumper will be reinstalled in the stock position.
NOTE: if the vehicle is equipped with fog lights, refer to the template for timing the frame mount for clearance. Lay the template on the outside bumper frame mount.
