Step 10 Remove the rear u-bolts and springs, just like the front. Then put your new ones on. Put the included shims in between the spring packs and the axle tubes. These are to help improve your driveline angle.

Step 12 The kit comes with a new extended brake line for the rear. Once you've put it on there, you can take your clamp off.
