Default 2-4 instal Q

hey guys i just got my Mcgaughy spindles shackles and hangers and was wondering if i needed any special tools for the install. Just wanting to make sure im not going to get halfway through it and not have a special wrench.

it can all be done yourself, need pry bars, impact gun, air hammer for taking out the rivets on the hangers, some wrenches, o and some jacks and jackstands thats about it

I'd look into a ball joint seperator for that spindle job... And if I ever do another set of rear hangers in pulling the bed and torching everything I can... Just be careful of the gas tank :boom:
