To gain maxium benefit and use from this product,
please follow these instructions carefully:

Lift the vehicle on the chassis, allowing the rear axle to hang freely. Remove any bolted spring retainers that will prohibit the fitment of the Load Hog™ Helper Spring (the U-bolts fitted later will replace their function.) In most cases it is not necessary to remove the running wheels. The brake pipe mounting tabs on Mazda B-Series and Ford Courier ranges must be carefully bent back, ensure the Load Hog™ fits comfortably against the axle without obstructing the brake pipes.

Place one of the Load Hog™ blades on top of the rear half of
the existing leaf spring with the L-shaped end butting up
against the axle assembly.(Fig 1)

Place a cross plate on top of the Load Hog™ blade (Fig 2) ensuring it butts up against the L-shaped part of the blade. Slide the shorter U-bolt up over the existing spring and through the cross plate, securing it in position with the nuts and washers supplied.(These nuts must be tight as they hold the sprung in position when in use) The type T2 cross plate is to be fitted with the wider section facing the axle. On Nissan 1400 and 4x4 models the cross plates and U-bolts are inverted, with the U-bolts fitting down over the Load Hog blade and the cross plate fitting under the existing leaf spring.

Push the longer U-bolts over the existing spring and through the outer end of the Load Hog™ blade, fit washers and finger tighten the nuts. As a guide, tighten the nuts a further 20-30mm and lock with a second nut (Fig 3). Repeat this process on the opposite leaf sprung. On vehicles marked USE INVERTER in the Application List the outer U-bolts are fitted down through the Load Hog blade and into the INVERTER CROSS PLATE underneath the existing spring. (Fig 4)

Lower the vehicle to the floor and re-check the tightness of the inner U-bolt nuts, ensure brake pipes and
handbrake cables are completely unobstructed. Further adjustment to the outer U-bolts can be carried out at any stage.

LoadHog™ Helper springs should take approximately 20 minutes to fit.
Basic tool requirements are a trolley jack and 2x 19mm ring spanners.

! CAUTION !
Never load your vehicle beyond manufacturers recommendations.
Re-check tightness of nuts on LoadHog™ Helper Springs every 10000km
