Re: Rat repair.
Had to string another tarp before starting today, the driver side spring came out much easier, was able to drive out the front bolt and then unbolt the top of the shackle and pull the spring out, the bottom shackle bolt is froze solid. Got the new spring in place and popped the front bolt in and snugged up the U bolts, i'm going to have to cut the length off the inner U bolts a little to keep my socket all the way on the nut.
Good place to stop till i get the new bushing and or shackles for the rear of the springs. In comparison the BDS front spring is 6 leaves with slipper pads in between each leaf tip, made in Canada, the old Rancho has 5 leaves that are thicker with no slippers, made in Brazil.
