Re: how to install drop shackels
Is there something specific that your unsure of, or the whole process in general? I can tell you that the install "might" require a notch in the bed brace channel. It will depend on the length of leaf spring combined with your wheel base. If you need a complete walk through let me know.

Re: how to install drop shackels
I hate cutting the brace too, but you don't have much choice. It's a pretty simple task, just make sure you support the frames then jack the axle up till there is no tension on the shackle. The rest is bolt on and admire...
