Is Drilling Required to Install the TorkLift StableLoad Suspension Upgrade on a 1995 Dodge Ram 2500
Updated 08/13/2024 | Published 08/14/2014
Question:
I have a 1995 Dodge 2500. It has a rubber cover over the spring contact brackets. Do these brackets have a hole in the center for the lug on the Torklift rubber bumper to fit through, or does one have to be drilled? The info indicates it bolts right on, but I want to be sure no drilling is required. Thanks,

Expert Reply:
Underneath the rubber covers you referenced that cover the spring contact brackets there will be a 5/8 inch diameter hole. You will need to use a 1/2 inch drill bit that is approximately 20 inches long to drill out the rubber cover without having to remove the bump stops.
If you cannot locate that long of a drill bit you will have to remove the bump stops to drill.
I attached installation instructions for you to check out as well.

I want to install the TLA7200 on my 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 4 wheel drive. I want to know if I can simply remove the rubber covering the bump stops covering the 5/8 diameter hole rather than drilling through the rubber?
