Exclamation springs, shackles and HANGERs...

All three, right?

Shackles are easy with a couple of jacks, maybe a jackstand or two and an extra hand if you've never done it before. The BELLTECH kit should have had decent instructions w/pictures, no?

also...

Some say you don't need a pickle fork to do the front springs, but I used one. Get down to your local auto parts store and get one to free up the lower ball joint (with a few solid whacks). This is done of course, AFTER you've removed the sway bar, steering and lower ball joint nuts. On my 2WD 4.2L the stock springs came out very easily. Take your time and THINK as you go. And don't forget to put blocks or stands under the truck!!!

As for the HANGERS...well do a search under RIVETS or HANGERS in this suspension section, and see the threads. They SUCK and they are a PAIN, but they can be done.

Good LUCK! Start early!

Here are my results...
