Thanks Ed, yeah, I have a compressor and all the air tools, I am a retired
Harley mechanic. I will let you know how it goes, looking forward to
working on it in the morning.

It's real simple man, but here's something different. On mine, 01 4x4 QC, it

was real easy, in a nut shell, hook one part over the axle and the other
goes
under the u-bolts, on top of the spring (loosen all the u-bolts, and slide
the bracket under them and tighten basicly) I did this on a buddy's 4x4
Durango, and it was a whole different set-up, I guess since the Durango axle

sits ON TOP of the springs, there's different parts to that kit. On my 4x4
Dak, the axle IS UNDER the spring, and I think the axle is on top with a 2wd

Dak remembering my old '97. Anyways, it's real simple, took me a little over

90 mins, and if you have access to a compressor, use it to get the u-bolts
loose, they were tight as heck on mine, and my arms were super sore. Email
me
if you have any ?'s, or if you hit a snag, pm me and I'll give you my phone
