Shackle relocation brackets write up?
Does anyone know of an install write-up for HD Off-road Engineering's rear shackle relocation brackets better than the one on naxja? I'm specifically looking to see if you want to attack one side at a time or just put the frame up on stands and lower both sides of the axle at once with a floor jack. Any suggestions?

I stick my hi lift in the hitch and jack it like that. Goes plenty high to get the tires off the ground and the suspension isn't loaded like it would be jacking from the diff

Alright so I used my Hi-Lift to jack the rear end up and lowered the axle with the floor jacki but the axle doesn't want to come down far enough to aloow for enough space to put the shackles on. Is there something I'm missing?
