Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

Well I had ordered new shackles with my leaf springs from the usual scum bags only to find out they were unable to get shackles from the supplier. Since I am a rather impatient person I installed the new springs without them only to find out the original shackles were in fantastic shape. Asides from 7 of the 16 original seals had gone MIA, the new bushings in the leafs fit the old pins nice.
As they are in such good shape I ordered 16 replacement seals and just installed them on the old shackles.

Since I was at it I also started taking off the tie rods for new boots as the 6 year old boots are gone from the Arizona heat. Poly will be filling the void.
