2001-2002 Chevrolet/GMC 4X4 HD / 3/4 Ton Track Bar Kit PN. 71200

1. Working on one side of the vehicle at a time, raise the rear tire off the ground, place a jack stand on the flat part of the frame ahead of the rear spring and remove the wheel.
2. Support the axle with your floor jack and remove the U-bolts from the axle.
3. Carefully lower the axle away from the spring pack until there is sufficient clearance to insert the track bar adapter (Driver Side 90-1587 / Passenger Side 90-1588) between the spacer block and the axle mount pad as shown in Illustration 1.
4. Raise the axle back up into position. Make sure to carefully line up the locating bolts and dowels to insure proper alignment. Reinstall the U-bolts, nuts, and washers and torque to specifications.
5. Install the urethane bushings (PN 15-10953) and sleeves (PN 90-2192 Front, PN 90-2193 Rear) into your track bars (Track bars are sold separately) using Illustrations 1 and 2 for reference. Install the front mounts (PN 90-1474) with the 9/16” X 4 1/2” bolts. Leave loose for the moment.
6. Place the track bar into the previously installed mount at the rear axle. A 9/16” X 5 1/2” bolt with one hardened washer is installed from the center of the vehicle through the mount and track bar assembly. Install the hardened washer and nut.. Snug up this hardware and check for clearance between the bolt and the rear brake caliper.
7. Recheck the torque on the U-bolts, install the tire back on the vehicle and lower the vehicle to the ground. At this point the front of the track bar should NOT be attached to the frame!!
8. Repeat the above procedure on the other side of the vehicle and lower the truck to the ground. NOTE: It is VERY important that the next step is done with the truck on the ground, and the suspension is at normal ride height.
