Ford Rear Block Kit Installation Instructions
Complete the following instructions one side at a time. Do not attempt to drop the entire axle at one time.
1. Raise rear of vehicle and support with jack stands under frame. Remove wheels.
2. With axle firmly supported by jack stands remove the OEM shock. Place a hydraulic jack under the rear differential.
3. Loosen the OEM u-bolts that retain the spring to the axle. Caution: To avoid axle shift, only remove/replace the u-bolts from one side at a time.
4. With the hydraulic jack supporting the axle, slowly allow the axle to drop away from the leaf spring. Replace the jack stands for additional support. Caution: It may be necessary to adjust the brake line in order to gain additional length. Do not kink the brake line in any way.
5. Place the new block, tapered end toward the front, between the stock block and the leaf pack. Make sure the bump stop portion of the stock block is pointed the same direction as it was originally.
Note: It may be necessary to drill out the BDS block center pin hole to accept the OEM block pin.
