i just came in form working on the thing and i havnt been this pissed off ever... i have 3 burns on my hand 2 on my arms and my whole inside of the elbo is burt...

so some one please help me before i beat this thing in!

that sucks. my advice put some heat to them and some PB blaster. or if there all rusted to hell and ur gona replace the whole thing then torch them out and buy new brackets and shackles. do it right the first time and believe me you will be glad when ur out on the trail later.

i just did a soa conversian on my explorer, i dont know what you are having a hard time with but here is what you do, buy or build new hangers, grind or torch the old ones off, fasten with grade 8 hardware, buy new shackles, buy urathane spring eye bushings, drill out the old bushings, clean up the inside of the spring eye with a wire wheel on a drill and the bushings with go right in, a light coating of wd40 on the inside of the spring eye helps too..hope this helps, just replace all the bolts with new stuff to make it easy...screw trying to reuse old shit...
