Finally. Ordered 1-2" lift shackles from Ebay about three weeks ago, I'd almost forgotten about them until the UPS guy knocked on my door last night-what a pleasent surprise...

I'm going to put them on Saturday and I'm not really worried about the install but I'm wondering if anyone who's done these before has any handy tips for me?

yep, if you live in a rust prone area start soaking bolts now.....brake fluid and tranny fluid work pretty good too.

jack stands under the frame rail's, NOT under the axle for doing shackles.

Kinda tough to see much detail in these, bad lighting. One of these days I'll snap some better shots for ya'll......
