my new lift!! (rear shackle how to)

well i did go and do it thanks all to lftd_86_yota he helped me outy and gave me the part numbers and everything

where autozone
cost 14.99
time 3 hours
fun fun you see



ok so here it goes i was sick and tired of the rear being low and her looking like a old beater so i got ahold of lftd_86_yota and he pointed me in the right path!!

heres before and after just so you can see how much it lifted the rear end!


and after now

taken in the same spot on the ground look at my moms driver side mirror and my back up light


heres the tools needed to do

floor jack, bricks or something like that, 19mm wrench and or socket, PB BLASTER and lots off it, pry bars, hammer (bfg) breaker bar, and the kit

the kit sells for 14.99 at AUTOZONE heres the kit and it comes with the rear shackles both sides and the bolts needed to install

part numbers DONT MATCH this number comes up as a tie rod end but they will still find it for ya


heres a picture of everything you will need


first you spary all 4 bolts down real good and wait a few days still spraying or if your like me then spray and crank you must jack the trucks butt up and get the rear tires off the ground and start turning the 19mm bolts get them off and then you start hammering away at the bolts the shackle is infact one peace so the inside will come off after the bolts but the outside with the bolts will be one peace just hammer top a few times then the bottom a few times and repeat will take a wile then you take a jack place it like this


BE VERY CAREFUL you must do this to get the rear of the leaf to come down to the new bolt hole then you just slide the bolt in and let the jack out

and then go to the other side if you have any questions pm me or add to this!! now for all the pictures i took and boy the ride is way differnt feels like im falling off the front of her now


before the lift

♠after the lift

jacked up on my home made bumper




and if you think she wont flex anymore ha ha take a look again









the before and after pisctures are the truck sitting on the floor and NOT jacked up look at them and you will see light between the jack and bumper thanks for looking and thanks a million to lftd_86_yota goood job on the find buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
