Is Drilling Required to Install the TorkLift StableLoad Suspension Upgrade on a 1995 Dodge Ram 2500

Question

Question:

I have a 1995 Dodge 2500. It has a rubber cover over the spring contact brackets. Do these brackets have a hole in the center for the lug on the Torklift rubber bumper to fit through, or does one have to be drilled? The info indicates it bolts right on, but I want to be sure no drilling is required. Thanks,

Expert Reply:

Underneath the rubber covers you referenced that cover the spring contact brackets there will be a 5/8 inch diameter hole. You will need to use a 1/2 inch drill bit that is approximately 20 inches long to drill out the rubber cover without having to remove the bump stops.

If you cannot locate that long of a drill bit you will have to remove the bump stops to drill.

I attached installation instructions for you to check out as well.
