i am about to reinstall my drivers side leaf. when i am going to reinstall the leaf with the new added leaf and shackle. do i attach the shackle to the leaf first? then then install it? and if so do i want to install the side with the shackle or without the shackle first? thanks!!

 

Bolt it to your leaf pack and the bolt the whole thing in.

 

bolt the shackle to the frame first easir to get at the bolt then spring to shackle just snug them put truck back on ground then tighten them with the weight on springs

 

i got the passenger side on but the drivers side its all ****ed up. the old shackle was stuck into leaf and i had to grind it off but the bolt is still in the leaf. i might just go and get brand new leafs since its the biggest pain in the ***. i shouldve finished tonight but more **** just keeps popping up.

 

soak it with pbblaster and put a deep socket under it that you can beat the bolt out and into the socket

 

ive soaked it in pbblaster and the leaf is off and ive tried using a sludge hammer to remove the busted bolt but it wont budge.

 

the left side IS the driver's side...
