Did you buy direct from sulastic? How much trouble are they to install? Do you support the frame and let the axle fall when you install them?
Ignore the enclosed directions. Support the chassis with the rear tires off the ground, remove the Receiver Hitch and lift the axle at the differential to remove spring load. Remove the lower shackle bolts and then LIFT the axle to remove the top bolt ABOVE the frame.
There is No need to remove shocks or air springs to complete the install.
very cool! I was actually considering Air Safe Hitch for my GN trailer, ,mainly cuz my tree loads get up toward 42,000 lbs, but this entire write up is good info to have...
thanks!!!

Just did this power steering job today and all I can say is WOW. Thanks for the write up Hook. It was very easy following your instructions. Smooth as butter now. Mine was bad too, and low when I started so I used almost 4 quarts and still was a litle brown. Thanks again.

I just did it today after reading this, first time it had been done with 100,000 miles now. Only took me about a half hour if that other than going out and getting the fuel line and fluid. The fluid was very dark and smelled burnt, the steering definately feels alot better. The write up by Hook'em Horns was well done, thanks for the info
