Installing lowering blocks with plates is easy. First support frame with jack stands. Remove wheels. Doing one side at a time, remove u-bolts. Using a hydraulic jack , raise the axle away from the leaf springs. Place block on leaf spring (Fig 1). Next set plate on top of block. (Fig 2&3). Lower axle down so the weight is on the block. Install and tighten the u-bolts to 80 lbs. Repeat this procedure on the other side of the vehicle. Cut off any excess u-bolt. It is recommended to make a habit of retightening the u-bolts every few months. Refer to diagram (Fig 4) for details of assembly.	FIG 2
