Put rear frame of truck on jackstands. Remove both rear wheels. Place jack under rear axle (with a small amount of pressur on the pumpkin). Cut u-bolts. Let the axle down so you can work with the center pin. Remove the center pin. Install AAL under the main spring plate with the eyes. Reinsall NEW center bolt and u-bolts and you're done!

Wherever we want to go, we'll go. That's what a truck is, you know. It's not just a frame and a cab and a bed and engine, that's what a truck needs but what a truck is... what the Ranger really is... is freedom.

I'll add....
  • New U-bolts are definitely required, because they stretch when torqued or impact wrenched(air is FTW btw...)
  • Use 6-8" C-clamps on both sides of the center-bolt to compress the AAL so you can tighten the nuts on the supplied all-thread(or bolts)
  • ALWAYS use a new center pin/center bolt. Whether it be all-thread type or a bolt, ALWAYS use a new one.
  • I find it easier to install when the leaf spring is on the concrete floor
