SPRING BAR HOOK-UP
• To place the spring bar on the L-bracket (L), keep the coupler attached to the ball. Raise the coupler using
the tongue jack until the spring bar will go onto the L-bracket (L).
• If the jack will not raise the coupler high enough, use the lifting handle shown in the Fig. 8 below. Place
the hooked end of the handle in the rectangular hole of the L-bracket (L). Place the end of the spring bar as
shown and lift the handle. Remove the handle.
• Place spring bar retention bracket (I) into the L-bracket (L) and secure with clip (H) as shown in Fig. 9.
WARNING: to avoid serious injury, always stand to the side of
the lift handle. Never stand at the end of the handle or allow any
part of your body under the handle.
• Lower tongue jack. Re-measure the front wheel well reference
point. Front wheel height must be equal to the original
measurement. If the front wheel height is higher than previously
measured, the head tilt angle must be increased (tilted
downward). If the front wheel well height is substantially lower
than originally measured (1" or more), the head tilt angle must be
reduced (tilted upward). For coarse adjustment, the L-bracket (L)
can be lowered one hole to bring the front wheel well back up.
The spring bars must be unloaded and removed from the L-
bracket (L) prior to adjusting the head tilt angle or removal of the
nuts (T). If the head angle or L-bracket adjustments are made,
repeat hook up steps until the front wheel well height is approx.
equal to the original measurement. It is preferred that the rear of
the vehicle settle about the same amount or more than the front.

ADJUSTING & TIGHTENING THE L-BRACKETS
•Always keep bolts (R) finger tight until the spring bars are in place and loaded with pressure on the L-
brackets (L). This will allow the L-brackets (L) to adjust themselves to the spring bar angle giving the
maximum contact with the friction pad (O) and resulting in better sway control. See Fig. 10 above. Tighten
bolts (R) to 75 ft.-lbs.
•If you tightened the bolts before you applied the spring bar tension, loosen the bolts (R) slightly. Do not
remove the bolts completely. They are under pressure from the spring bars. The L-bracket (L) will then
adjust to the spring bar angle by itself. Re-tighten the bolts (R) to 75 ft.-lbs.
