Hey guys hows it going. Once again working on my truck with no experience but in not affraid. I got my drop schackels from moe's and i took appart rear schackels, but i cant figure out on how to take out o/l spring. Can someone tell me how to. My truck is an 08 2wd 1500. HELP please my wife works and i cant drive my truck since i have it on jack stands. schackels are a 2 inch drop.

 

The shackles don't have anything to do with your O/L spring. You have to unbolt the spring pack to remove the spring (it sits between your spring perch and spring pack). Many people here will tell you to do a search, if you search for 'overload spring' you'll probably find pictures.

 

I found that out that schackels have nothing to do with the leaf springs. I'm just stuck trying to find out on how to take out that o/l spring. Thanks hemi let me go do a search.

 

I still haven't found out on how to do it pic by pics i'm just a dummy still with this forum. Any ways i got to install schakel and delete o/l leaf but im having trouble trying to get in place the tit in the bottom of leaf spring pack.
Now everything is longer since o/l leaf is deleted, (the u bolts and that guide pin next to the tit bolt). I need help i'm stuck without using my truck. I'm not an expert but i'm not scared of doing work on the truck. I just dont have patience since i lost it in iraq.

 

Ohhh and sticky for lowered trucks is not helping me a lot and i can only lift truck from one side at a time.

 

Anybody close to Austin Texas and would like to help me if u have the time.
just send me a pm and ill give u dir. on how to get here. I need some help.
