Does anyone know where and what to jack up or support to release the leaf spring pressure to safely replace the movable spring shackles on a 41-46 chevy half ton's leaf springs?

Jack up the truck & put stands under the frame Then put a jack under the axle just enough to take the weight off the shackels. It is not dangerous like a coil spring. Once the weight is off it is relaxed.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
