[MUDDING B-3000]

hello.

so im buying a set of the beltech 6400 shackles for my ranger an i just want everyones opinion on the easiest way to install them? like i have to lift the truck up so the re end is at full droop right? can i re use the old shackle bolts if there in good condition or do i need different ones?

just any advice on how to install them would be nice. i

i put a pair on my truck not too long ago. Just put the jack under the diff kack it up a little and take the tires off the jack it up a little more. I placed the jack stands on the frame under the cab (only level part) switching the shackles out is pretty easy your stock bolts will work fine, It helps to jack the side you are working on up a little so there is a little tension on leafs so they holes line up better.
Good Luck
Also i noticed a big improvement on on-road handling after i put the shackles on not to mention the huge improvement in flex!
