What a piece of cake this is, 1/2 hour plus Mod. I love the results.
I'll post some pictures of the truck the way it site now when the rain stops and I can clean my Black Beauty Up.

 

Nice job on the pics!

...with my truck at the auto body shop, been thinking of all sorts of ideas to do while they have it ...might have to have them throw a set of those on!

 

Which shackles did you use... and what was the price on them? Looks like it was an easy job...

Why did you stop at the shackles? Them front springs are begging to be changed

 

My Belltech shackles face the other way, with the open end facing the front of the spring.

Did I put them on wrong? lol

 

Looks good man


I put my bell techs on with the open end facing the front also and there fine. Thats the way the stock ones are.

 

I just checked the Belltech manual and they also show the open end facing the front.

I wonder if it really matters then?

 

i put my belltech shackles with the opening facing the front also. didn't get instructins cuz i bought them from another member, so i just looked how the stock ones were.

wonder if it does make any differance

 

These were $29.95 and they're facing the same way my old ones came out "I THINK I did drop that one while putting it on, dam I hope I didn't put one on wrong, no big deal, I'll check in the morning. THANKS FOR POINTING THAT OUT EVERYONE.
And yes, it's extremly easy to do mecca.
I hear you Gator about the front springs

thanx for the pix. ive been wanting to do this for some time now and the pix will really help me out. thanx again...chris

 

Bad memories, I have a scar across my nose from putting those shackles on, sigh.

 

It's official,
My new shackles went in the same way my old ones came out. Both sides are the same and both seem to be opposite they way you all have them "and the directions show them" ??? WTF
I simply put the new ones back in the same way the old ones were. There is absolutely no way I messed up. I changed one side at a time, and looked over at the other side when re-installing them.


Does anyone else have the open side facing the rear ???

Actually if you look at them, there would be no harm putting them either way so since the old ones were backwards for 6 thousand miles, I'm leaving them. WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK

 

Gator,
How much do the springs lower the front end? Does this change the handling or the alignment of the wheels?

Where did you order the springs from?

Thanks,
Eric
