3.
Attach the overaxle pipe using the two gaskets and four 1-
1/4" x 3/8" bolts, nuts and lock washers.
4.
Place the muffler hanger supplied on the back side of the
pipe flange and use the 1-1/2" x 3/8" bolt to attach it to the

start with the bottom hole. Snug the hanger to the flanges,
keeping in mind that when you have the pipes all hung, you
may have to adjust height.
The hanger should be
perpendicular to the muffler and the muffler level to the
chassis.
5.
Attach tailpipes to the axle pipe using the two 2-1/2"
U-clamps. Hang the left and right pipes on the universal
hangers. Hold the pipes in position and align the hanger
strap with a slotted hole in the side of the frame rail behind
the shock absorber. Select the hole in the strap that gives
the best clearance, then bolt to frame. Use the large washer
(supplied) to bolt the strap to the frame. Use whichever hole
of the strap gives you the best alignment.
6.
Install tailpipe tips using supplied 2-1/2” band clamps. Tips
can be adjusted to accommodate most any rear bumper or
roll pan.
7.
The factory-installed bumper may vary as much as 3/4" in
height. You may want to adjust your bumper for optimum
appearance. We suggest a minimum of 7/8" clearance from
the tailpipes to the bumper.
8.
Check for clearance to body, frame, and driveline as you
tighten the system from front to rear.
9.
Start engine, check for leaks and correct, if any is found.
