1. WARNING: The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or towing an air suspension vehicle.
This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension switch located in the rear jack storage area. Failure to do so can result in unexpected
inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
With the vehicle in neutral, raise and support the vehicle.
2. Index-mark the driveshaft yoke to the transfer case pinion flange.
3. Index-mark the driveshaft to driveshaft rear axle pinion flange.
4. Remove the four rear bolts, and disconnect the rear driveshaft.
