My shackles came in the mail yesterday
 . Are there any tips or suggestions for the install? Or anything I should look out for? It looks like it pretty simple, but wanted to get the scoop for sure.

Make sure you grease them up well.

Are the bolts hard to break loose? How much torque do the new shackles require?

The instructions are pretty straight forward. Nothing too difficult. All the torque specs should be in the directions. Good luck. Take before and after shots.

when doing this job-I would put the rear part of the frame on jackstands,then,I would jack up the rear axle a little-unbolt the lower shock bolts,then-unbolt the lower shackle bolts,now,I would lower the floor jack which should drop the leaves down from the shackles.Remember,before starting-I would spray some type of penetrant(wd-40 or stronger)on all the bolts and let them soak in.Hope this helps a little.

Thanks guys. I read my directions, but they were pretty tore up inside the box. Wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.
