85 leaf spring swap HURRY
 

Ok I just bought a 3in lift from rough country. For my 85 yota pickup. well im having problems with the leaf springs. The front bolts of the front leaf springs were easy to get off but the back is different. I cant get the beck bolt of the front leafs to come out. is this how i do it or am i doin it wrong? I need help. im about to go CRAZY :pop:

By "the beck bolt of the front leafs", are you referring to one of the nut on the spring shackles? If so, not uncommon for the upper shackle pin to get sort of stuck in the shackle bushings through the frame. I usually need to get the spring end loose then use a rubber mallet on the threaded end and then twist and pull on the shackle while hitting the other end to pull it out. With the shackles I run now, I can put a long handled box wrench on the head of the bolt and twist/pull on the bolt that way:

Yea the one on the shackles. So do I pull both of the bolts out?
