Description : The installer of this system should be prepared to modify the exhaust system. The new suspension system cannot be installed around the stock exhaust, therefore the vehicle is disabled without the exhaust.Remove the rear tailpipe section of the exhaust system. Removing the rear tailpipe section will allow the FTS rear suspension components and the v-link to be mounted easily. After installation of the rear v-link and the remaining suspension components, a new tailpipe must be fabricated to complete the exhaust system. Alternative: The exhaust may also be unbolted from the “B” pipe flange next to the engine block. ** It is the installers decision how to do the exhaust. A rear slip yoke eliminator conversion (97-04 models) & CV type drive shaft is highly recommended to complete the installation and eliminate any vibration that may occur in the rear drive shaft . On 97-04 models, no change in the front drive shaft is required. Check the parts and hardware against the parts list to assure that your kit is complete. Refer to page #2 of these instructions for a list of tools and supplies needed to perform the installation. Use these instructions as a guide, however experienced installers may want to change the order of installation procedures to suit their needs.
