I put the shackle hangers back on and installed the springs and then thought i'm not 100% sure that's right, so that's great news. I didn't want to press pins and bushing back out. I was careful to get things right but have a lot of other things going on so it sometimes hard to keep track of what's going on. i'll install the axel tomorrow then head to the rear i'll be more careful back there. thank so much for the good word Jay D.
