nice dude!

 

Tanks bro! Honestly, it would have been sooo much easier to buy shackles from trail gear just because of all the harware headaches. But, nontheless, I love that I can say "I made em"! In the end I'm glad I did it and now I could whip up another set in 45 minutes.

 

I'm having trouble finding new bushing from auto parts stores or the dealer. Any advice?

 

Local part stores dont have anything? thats kinda lame

how much does it cost for a set of new springs?

go get a drill and use it and then take it back when your done with it.. its a good way to get your money back... just say ya, this really does not do the job i was looking for...

you could just press the whole bushing out too...

 

make sure you lube your new bolts with some anti-seze...

 

I know I'm late to this because the job is done, But putting the shackle/spring in dry ice will make everything shrink and the pin/bolt will be easier to remove. You can buy (liquid wrench) freeze at auto parts stores, it works good on nuts and bolts.

 

Interesting post never thought of that

 

get you a can of air duster and turn it upside down and spray it until the can is empty it will freeze up good be ready to whale away with a drift pin and a hammer....
