Figure#8 : Bag is bolted to the lower bag mount with the stud facing out. Top bag mount is installed using two bolts “You
will need to use a grinder to smooth the edges of the steering arm to allow for extra clearance”
Figure #7 :Drivers side lower bag mount.
Step 2: Locate the drivers side lower bag mount and provided U-bolts and install onto the axle. Make sure to keep the OEM block
on the bottom to keep correct caster.
Step 3. Locate the 5768 Air bag, upper air bag mount and the lower bag plate. The air bag will bolt onto the lower bag plate with
the 1/2”- 13 x 2” bolt. Do not tighten yet. Now place the upper bag mount to the top of the air bag over the air inlet. (If the
1/2” stud on the top of the air bag has not been cut off, do that now. Use the 3/4” lock washer and jam nut to fasten the
upper air bag mount to the bag. Now, making sure the upper bag mount and lower bag plate are parallel with each other,
tighten the bottom bag bolt to 35 ft/lbs. Now, place the assembly on the lower air bag mount and fasten to the lower air
bag plate with the four 3/8”-24 x 2” bolts and hardware. The next step is to drill 2 holes in each side of the frame to
fasten the upper bag mount. To figure out where to drill the holes in the frame, inflate the air bag to 8” tall. With the air
bag straight up and down (
appearance like a coffee can
) mark the holes in the frame and drill two 9/16” holes in the
frame. Next fasten the upper air bag mount to the frame with the 1/2”-20 x 2” bolts and hardware. (CAUTION:MAKE SURE
NOT TO DRILL INTO ANYTHING ON INSIDE OF FRAME!)
Smooth the
corners of the
steering arm so
they don’t rub
on the bag.
