Not that hard to do...jack the truck up take the wheels off and put jack stands under the frame of your truck. Then that will allow you to put a jack under the rear axle.With than in place start to loosen the u bolts slowly.You can lower your axle all the way down and then take the center bolt that holds all the leafs together and loosen it.You will have new longer bolts to replace those.At this point you can put the AAL on top of the bottom overload spring. Run the new bolt down the center of the leaf pack and tighten.The same will apply for the other side.Watch when you are putting every thing back together to make sure the axle is straight and in line with the bolts in the center of the pack.Reinstall the ubolts and tightin eveything back down real good.
