bigd44889 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 well the easyist way is take it to some one and pick it back up but if u want to be like most of us u got to do it your self so when i did mine i unboted the contol arms ,steering link and drag link oh jack truck way up and put jack stands under rails use floor jack for the axle lower axle till u can pull springs put new ones in and jack back up reconect everything if u have a spring compesor u can use it and not have to diconect everything for the axle to drop so far oh take out retaining bolt at the bottum of spring rear is easy jack up body and suport it use floor jack under diff put a little pressure on axle take off u bolts lower axle use clamp to hold spring together take out centering pin losen clamps add your leaf clamp back together put in new centering pin move clamps jack axle back up to springs but a little presser on springs put on new u bolts iff i missed anything i'm sure some one will tell us have fun now :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Great! Then you won't mind driving over to Detroit to install my engine. ;) Oh, and even better, the garage isn't available at this moment so you'll get to do it outside. :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I run 235/75R15 with a 4.5" lift. It's about the most you can go without the tires looking too small. I might get a set of wheels and 33x12.50 play tires, but still run the 235s on the road until they are bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
