Its real easy. All ya have to do is raise the back of the truck up with some Jack stands. Use a jack to get all the weight off the rear leafs. And unbolt the OEM ones, and swap in the drop shackles.

You done yet?

I paid 99.00 for my DJM shackles several years ago. They've been worry free since 2004.

They're easy to install, we actually installed a pair on my buddy's 2002 Supercrew in the parking lot at work in less then 30 minutes.

I'd rather blame someone else if it gets messed up. And After I sliced my hand open doing my grill, it's worth the $80 install.
