Subject:Installation Kit 4434 U-Bolt Interference with Overload Leaf Springs
Problem:The lower leg of the U-bolt may interfere with the vehicle overload leaf spring when there is a load on the vehicle. This problem applies to 4434 kits that were manufctured before July 2008. Any kits made after July 2008 are not affected.
Solution:When installing 4434 kits manufactured before July 2008, you must trim the lower leg of the U-bolt to eliminate a possible interference with the leaf spring. Leave at least 2 (two) threads of U-bolt showing after the nut has been torqued to the proper specification.
