    I'm not sure. Maybe not. I don't see why I would need to remove the tail lights though

    So I got the shackles flipped around and moved back a hole on the shackle flip.

    No more metal on metal and they are at a better angle now. I need to probably swap these out for the regular length shackles instead of the extended length so my ass isn't as high though.

    Also might need to take an angle grinder to the shackle mount to clear up a little space for the shackle to maneuver under flex.

    Thanks to Dylan at RTI :thumbsup:

    You move them in a hole and the ass will come down a bit. But your angle is pretty good now.

    Yeah we will see how it goes... I need to find some greasable bolts for the front other bushings under the cab. Those are squeaky

    Same bolts will work... it is just difficult to drill out the hanger.

    Hmmm are you sure? I don't think they would work. They are smaller I believe.

    I ordered 6 when I did mine. You have to drill out the hanger and remove the metal sleeve in the bushings just like you did for the rear.
