Shacke install
I jacked my Supercrew up and put jack stands under the frame. Temporariloy jack under the pumpkin to ease tension in the springs and replace the shackles. I heard of one guy recommending Lithium grease to prevent future squeaking. I didnt use any and i have no noise. You may want to shim (2degrees) to eliminate any vibration around 55-60mph due to driveshaft angle.
Good luck,
