6" Skyjacker Lift Install Help
I have lifted the rear of my truck with the block and now its on to the front.
there is a lot going on up in the front and I am a bit intimidated.
Are there any good visual walkthroughs of the install?
the 2 pages of directions Skyjacker sent are vague and very limited.
If anyone has any tips or directions i should follow please help me out.

1995 F150 4x4.
Here is a breakdown of where i am at
1. Block rear tires, jack up front and support frame on stands.
2. Remove tires and shock absorbers.
3. Disconnect draglink from Pitman arm (one bolt) may need pickle fork
4. Mark Driveshaft on yolk and then remove.
5. Remove calipers completely and short rubber brake lines
6. Disconnect Differential Vent Hose.
7. Put jack under passenger side axle beam and put a bit of pressure under the spring. (directions say to attack the Passenger side first and then repeat on driver side im not sure why specifically)
8. Remove springs lower retaining nut and J clip from tower.
9. Slowly lower the jack to remove oem spring.
Now it says to remove center pivot bolt from axle beam. Im not to sure what this is but i think it may be the bolt at the bottom of the bracket near the passenger side coil in this photo

Im a bit lost as this step. Im not really sure what happened after I remove this center pivot bolt.

Thanks for your input.
Luckly my brackets are all bolted on and look really clean.
I see that only a couple OEM holes will line up to the new brackets and I should drill the rest.
Do you think I should bolt up and new bracket and drill the new holes while the bracket is mounted? Or should i do what the directions say and mark the holes and then drill?

Dang. I like lifted trucks as much as the next guy but I still have a soft spot for pristine older trucks. Oh well, I guess they're not rare or anything.
