I'm having trouble getting the 4" RC leaf pack to fit into the shackle, can't get it "flat" enough. Any tips on getting this done? Having trouble on both sides

Does the shackle not move enough?

Nope, it's pretty stiff. I have The big eye set in the frame, but with that, the small eye that attaches to the shackle sits just above and in front of the shackle. With the room I have, I can't get the axle low enough.... Just thought of that....

I used a pry bar to move the shackle enough to get the bolt through.

x2

yup, a pry bar is the way to go

Awesome, I'll just have to do that than. If only it wasn't pissing rain....

So did the pry bar work??? Im in the same boat...Also, do I need to put the u bolts on first or what??

Yup! I took the shackles off, put em on the leaf springs, then used the jack and a pry bar to line em up. At first the shackles Had tension on them and were facing towards the front, but I jumped on the bumper a bit and they sprung into place. As for the u bolts... I don't remember

Ok I didnt take my shackles off.. so I got the front one in, do i need to put the pry bar between the shackle and the rear eye and hope and pray it lines up?? lol

Yup... I had two people tho. I used the pry bar while a friend stuck the bolt through.

Cool, I'll let you know how it goes! Its been one of those deals! lol
