Just unsnaps off the range selector lever.. You can use a couple flat blades and gently pop it off.. Be sure to use equal pressure behind the cable connector end to move it off.. Some light lube helps on the install..

Pretty much a ground up with the suspension and possibly the frame from my 91 F-150 ext cab 4x4. Currently has 4" suspension lift but is going up to 6" plus a 3" body lift. On 315/75/16''s now and looking into 38.5/14.5/16''s for it. Also considerind a solid axle leaf spring swap as well. Its my mud and trail truck that rust and a few trees got the best of, thats why im rebuilding Lol.
