Heading out to replace both rear shackles this morning. How long do you think it will take ? Don't feel like messing around with those damn things, - going to grab the axe right off. I've done worse things on Sunday I guess. In a good mood at present...hope it lasts lol.

It shouldn't take too long. I replaced mine with lowering shackles and I don't think it took me any more than an hour to do, and that's with taking my sweet time.

Brew, you will knock those shackles out in no time with cutting the bolts. Just think, the ride will improve immensely when you get it done too.

Did you get 'er done Brew?

Have any of you done front wheel bearings on a 2WD? My neighbors 2001 needs the passenger side done. Just wondering if it's a pain in the butt like Rangers are.
