HELP! Shackle install
OK folks, need about another inch of lift in the rear end so we picked up some RC shackles. Installation looks simple enough, but ... before I loosen those upper bolts I need to know something. Is the nut that those upper bolts go into inside that frame channel fixed in place, either welded or clipped in? Or will I need to get a wrench on those bolts?
I ask because we just got done installing a Smittybilt XRC rear bumper, and BOY was it a PITA! If I have to get a wrench on those upper shackle nuts, the only way I can see to do that is to completely un-install that bumper and get in through those channel peep holes.
So PLEASE tell me those nuts are captive!
