Notes

• Exhaust modification may be required to clear the front driveshaft (gas only).

• Although extremely rare, front driveline vibration may occur.
• If equipped with 2-piece rear driveshaft, a driveshaft alignment kit (#123406) will be required.
• Front driveshaft u-joints may max out at full droop; if so, a new front shaft will be required.
• If equipped with a rear sway bar, #123009 is required.
• U-bolts will not work on dually.
• Front auxiliary shocks can be omitted; the system can be used with the coil-over installed alone.
