    Probably a stupid question and I don't see this logically being any issue at all but I'll be sending my shocks out for rebuild which will take a month or so. Front end will be on stands obviously but I don't feel like buying 2 more stands for the rear. Any issues with letting the truck rest on the leaf springs without the rear shocks for about a month?

    Don't see why not since that's all that's supporting the truck with the shocks on.

    When you raise the rear to remove the shocks and drop the rear back on its tires without shocks, do it lightly
