Needed: Parts
Needed:
Precautions:
Steps: 2. Lower the frame down on the jack stands. Keep the floor jack under the center of the axle so you can raise and lower the axle as needed.
4. Start the swap by removing the spring to shackle bolt. 5. Remove the shackle to hanger bolt. 6. Now install the new BellTech 6400 shackle in place of the stock shackle. Install in reverse order of removing the stock shackle. You can install the shackle backing plate in either direction. The stock shackle has the back plate towards the front of the truck. Make sure to use red thread locker on the nuts of the spring and shackle bolts. 7. Repeat steps #4-6 on the opposite side you just did. 8. Jack the truck up to get the weight off the jack stands and remove them. 9. Lower the truck onto its own weight. Before & After Pictures: Before: After: Before: After: Also Check Out:
