    How to Install a Leaf Spring Hanger?

    Replacing a leaf spring hanger is rather easy. The leaf spring hanger installation consists of a few simple steps.

    1. You should lift your truck with a jack and place it onto jack stands.

    2. Then you should remove the front leaf spring from the hanger.

    3. Grind off the rivets that are holding the hanger and then hammer them out.

    4. Bolt the leaf spring hanger kit into the frame where the previous rivet holes were.

    5. Bolt the leaf spring to the hanger. The tricky part of the installation will be taking the rivets off.

   How to Install or Replace Leaf Spring Shackles?

    1. Using a floor jack, raise the rear differential of your vehicle off the ground, Use jack stands under the frame to support the vehicle
    2. Lower the jack so that the suspension "droops", this will take the weight of the vehicle off the shackle and allow for removal of the mounting bolts
    3. Remove the lower mounting bolt from the shackle and spring and then lower the axle so that the spring drops out of the shackle
    4. Remove the upper mounting bolt which attaches the shackle to the mount on the frame then remove the existing shackle
    5. Insert the new shackle and mounting bolt.
    6. Leave the bolt loose to allow alignment of the shackle with the spring
    7. Raise the rear axle and align the spring eye with the shackle. Slowly work the spring back into the shackle, raising the jack a little at a time until the holes in the shackle and the spring eye line up.
    8. Install the mounting bolts through the shackle and the spring. Make sure to tighten accordingly
    9. Jack up the car to remove the jack stands then lower the vehicle back down
    10. Make sure the bolts stay tightened with weight on them
