Well, I replaced the leaf springs shackles and front shocks. The old nuts on the U-bolts were a son of a gun to remove. I had to use a 1/2 inch ratchet with a 3 foot cheater bar attached. Three hours later with a lot of wrenching they came off. I order new u bolts to find out they weren't the correct thickness or width. So I went to our local Bumper to Bumper shop and had two new made to the correct specs. The new parts went in easy as pie. I even installed the 4 degree caster shims that were not under the springs when I took it apart.
I dislocated my shoulder last weekend. So my cruise in my truck will have to wait. Of course I screwed up my right shoulder and can't shift the tranny with that arm yet.
I'll get back to you all when I get better. Hopefully I will tell you that it drives straight down the road.
