Would anyone care to share how they installed the bushings between the frame and dog bone?
I know the orientation but not having any luck.

 

 

Got it, but how do you get them installed?
almost seems like the cab has to be removed

 

unbolt and remove I would think, I did mine when I had the cab off of the frame. It would seem it could be done without removing the cab, maybe have to lift a little.

 

You can put a 2x4 block between the cab and frame when you remove one.

 

I was thinking 2x4 and going from the top but I,m thinking part of the issue is the bushing is thicker than the bracket opening.
I'll try the block, if mot, I'll install w the cab lifted or off.
thanks fellas

 

If I remember correctly I had to pry the bracket open a little to get the new bushing in. Maybe a little squirt of WD40

 

I'll try that too.
it's very tight.

 

I did mine this year and it was not that hard.

- Do one side at a time, I started with the passenger side first because there is more room.
- I took the running boards off so I had more room to place my wooden block to not damage the metal on the coroner
- Put a sturdy block of wood under the corner so you can take the weight off of the cab with a floor jack or bottle jack.
- Raise the cab just enough to get the weight off the bolts.
- Take the two bolts that hold the bottom of the bone to the frame off, that will take care of the bottom
- Should be able to get the top bolt out and change the bone, I had to use a saws all to get the bolts out. I had purchased new bolts with my kit.
- Put the new bone in the top with the bolt and leave loose
​​​​​​- But the bottom bracket on the bone with the rubber stopper
- This was the hard part for me, to push the bracket back up to the frame I used a jack to push it into position and put the bolts in, this took the most time and cannot be done by hand, you will need a jack or pry bar if you can fine the room.
- Tighten everything up and do the other side.

while you have it tire down might as well do the front. It is one bolt strait up and down and raise the corner of the cab to slide in the new bushings

 

I did not take pictures of the back mounts being changed but her is a link to when I did my fronts.
