Dave I printed ur article out before I started, huge help. I would suggest noting that multiple spare parts may be needed. I went through 4 rods, 8 large washers, 2 pipes, and 8 nuts. All for 3 bushings.

Also note that it took 2 hrs of quarter turns and 20 whacks w the hammer to get about an inch. It was painfully slow but eventually it gave way.
Truck is done in the rear. Had to get creative as some of the parts weren't easily installed, some bending, some grinding but it's done.
I have to wait on the front leaf springs bc one of the pins got stripped.
I bought the mono leaf springs from Brothers trucks, stock height was 30" in the rear, it's sitting at 24" now. Was only suppose to lower it to 25.5" but I'm not complaining.
