Title: Replacing front shackles
Post by: Welshboy on October 16, 2006, 12:31:00 pm

I've bought some heavy duty front shackles from Offroad Design to replace my worn ones.

My question is, do I have to remove the U bolts or can I just support the axle and do it that way?

Thanks

'78 K10 Scottsdale, 6" spring lift on front.

You don't have to remove the axle from the springs to replace the shackles.  You will have to lift and support it though so it won't be under tension...
