Thanks Patman, I think it should be simple though, with a jack and some jackstands. Unbolt old and bolt up new right?

yah you got to raise and lower the truck a few times, b.c the top bolt for the shackle you cant pull out b.c it runs into the bed rail, so you lower truck until the leaf just about touches the under side of bed....

yah if you put a 2x4 under the spare, and jack up from there, you can do both sides at once, and have to go up and down less

I hate the big @$$ tips too, but I want a custom Magnaflow true dual setup with turndowns at the rear bumper, old school style.
