Could not take it. Had to go back and undo passenger side fixed shackle it looked twisted. Sure enough it was. Two steps forward one step back.

Feeling better today. Got the front springs reseated correctly. U-bolts hand tight(will have to cut some off) Started on the back. Got both bolts out I broke and retapped. Going to tackle hanger moving back next I think. Progress either way…old parts stacking up.

Little more progress.
Here a some pictures of new springs length vs old shackle location. Don’t mind the little red wagon, sometimes you need a helper.

I just moved the hanger exactly per the instructions. Center of hole to center of hole. No more, no less.
And yes, I had to sand my bushings a bit too.
