FREE TRAVEL MOD HELP

[Dimond9035]

Okay guys sorry to ask questions that have pry been asked hundreds of times but I can not seem to find a step by step free travel mod guide for my 07 denali I paid a shop over a grand to install front drop struts rear shocks springs djm endlinks and bump stops, I got my truck back yesterday and I noticed it was riding way rougher than I expected today in the light I starting inspecting it and noticed that I have the factory bump stops all wapperjawed where they are supposed to sit and one of my new bump stops are laying in the hatch area of my truck so they obviously didn't finish the job, as of now I only have one of the bump stops they are closed on sundays but I figured id get started doing it myself if someone could point me in the right direction, all ive seemed to find is cut off the bump stop bracket and install new bump stops that isn't enough for me to comprehend what I need to do so a step by step tutorial or some pictures would be greatly appreciated thanks guys

Thank you sir that's all I needed was an actual picture of what I was cutting off everything I found just talked about it, so I appreciate your quick response

okay next question is how do I drop the rear axel so that I can get things out of my way like the rear springs, by looking at it it looks to me like I just need to take the bolt out the bottom of the shock and maybe the sway bar links but im not to sure so I figured id ask someone, and it seems that a 9 inch blade is a little excessive

unbolt shock
unbolt endlink
make sure the sensor on framerail you pop off
make sure to remove the e brake line on rear diff cover
drop rear end down

Thanks to everyone that gave me advice and thanks for Tony for selling great products I'm very satisfied with the way the truck sits and rides now
