Bushing replacement tips
Just wanted to share my rigging solution for replacing front leaf spring bushings. Obviously theres a few ways to do this. As this might not be the easiest, it got it done for the limited tools I had. And this got me wondering if anyone else had any nifty solutions for hard to do or the unsafe made safe.

End result, new bushings..

Had to remove the wheels to the floor jack to get it in there. Then using a heavy duty ratched strap to prevent the axle from shifting backwards from the pressure of the rear shackle. All in all this took about an hour.
