can i get a "how-to" on rear shackles..? i want to lower the rear end and have no idea what im doing but it doesn't look easy

jack up the the truck to where it unloads the suspension, pull the 2 bolts out of the shackles, beat it out with a hammer and put the new one in

thats it!?

its pretty simple, once you have the truck jacked up high enough to unload the suspension, its just 2 bolts in each shackle, shouldnt take much more than 30 minutes

You can put the body on jack stands and use the jack to raise/lower the rear to help line up the holes for the leaf springs. It doesn't take a terribly long time to do...
