Overloading the suspension Overloading is the practice of transporting cargos that surpass the specified vehicle’s ratings.Overloading can cause component failure, resulting in accidents and injuries.
Torque Proper tightening of the U-bolt nuts and alignment bolts are high priority items. A fastener system is considered “loose” any time the torque is found below required values. Failure to maintain the
cause component failure resulting in accident with specified torque and to replace worn parts can
consequent injury.
NOTE:1,000 to 3,000 loaded miles (1,600 - 4,800 kms)
It is extremely important after the first
of operation, and with each annual inspection thereafter, that all of the bolt and nut tightening recommendations be followed. Any loose fasteners must be retorqued to comply with warranty requirements and to ensure long, trouble-free performance.
This symbol indicates to the reader to use caution when seen and to follow specific requirements orwarnings stated.

2. Normally, prior to any installations at an OEM, Engineering contacts between companies have been made, all necessary information to make an installation has been exchanged, and preliminary steps have been taken to plan and execute the installation. Normally, the OEM has specific departments and personnel who may complete the installation in various steps that may not agree with what is presented herein. However, the following general steps are listed in the interest of all involved and should be included in any OEM plan to install the suspension.
3. Measuring from centerline of steering axle, mark the frame location of the desired centerline location of the suspension. Mark a line with chalk across the upper frame rail flange on both sides.Check chalk marks on top flange of frame with alarge square to verify that centerlines are square with each other.
4. Crossmembers are required at all hanger locations. Hold frame square with body clamps until all hangers have been installed.
5. Determine the mounting height required. To locate hangers in vertical positions on frame rails, refer to the proper ReycoGranning drawings for the specific application that is being used. Be sureto check specific spring heights in computation.Chalk a horizontal line on the frame at the top of the front hanger. The top of the rear hanger is to be 3/4” below the top of the front hanger. Mounting height can be changed by moving hangers on frame or by inserting spacer above axle seat.

Auxiliary Spring Leaf OptionThe auxiliary spring leaf (item 46) is added to the top on each main spring item (item 15) during spring to axle installation. A spacer (item 31) is placed between the main spring, (on the centerline bolt) and the auxiliary spring leaf. This option requires the addition of bump stops (item 3) to be located, drilled, and installed (using customer’s hardware) to the frame. See assembly drawing for additional dimensions and details. Once the auxiliary leaves are in place and square to the frame, follow the U-Bolt tightening procedure and sequence, previously specified. The customer-supplied hardware should be torqued to OEM requirements.
Sway Bar OptionThe sway bar (stabilizer) option is recommended to stabilize high center-of-gravity loads. The parts come as a kit, and are assembled as shown to the right. The stabilizer brackets (item 43) are fastened to the rear hangers (items 10, 11) via the rear hanger mounting fasteners, during the hanger to frame installation phase.
NOTE: Provide extra length bolts where required).
At the rear hanger end, install the sway bar (item 40) into the sway bar hangers (item 43) with bushing clamps (item 41), bushings (item 42), 1/2” bolts (item 44), and lockwashers (items 12). Torque 1/2” bolts to 60-80 ft-lbs.At the axle end, assemble each 5/8” bolt (item 34) with compression washers (items 39), stabilizer bushings (items 35), through sway bar eye,

FastenersLoose fasteners need immediate attention.Check components for wear and be sure holes are not worn or egg shaped. When replacing, be sure threads are clean, lightly oiled and not deformed. Consult the maintenance section for the correct torque specification. To insure an accurate torquereading, the torque tool used for checking torque, must provide a correct measurement.
Spring AlignmentCheck the springs for proper spacing and alignment, so that they will be centered in the hangers when installed. The location of the axles seats, if correct, will space the springs correctly. The springs should be square and perpendicular to the axle.
NOTE: The gap between the springs and the hanger should be equal on each side when aligning suspension or when checking alignment.
Maintain .06 minimum gap between edge of spring beam and hanger with proper vehicle ride height and in the straight ahead position.
BushingsInspect rubber bushings for large splits, tears and major wear. Rubber is attacked by sun, oils and greases. Replace any bushings which have noted damage.
Use P80 Rubber Lubricant, water or soap and water to install new bushings.
