No need to remove the bed.
lift truck, support frame on jackstands.
lift rearend with jack, remove shackle bolts, replace shackle(lifting and lowering as needed). and repeat for the other side. half an hour job at most

i agree with this guy , i have a shackle setup on my truck along with the removed spacer blocks under the leaf springs, it gave me a total of a 3inch drop in the back (thank god) the new body style is so high in the back.

ive already dropped a number of these trucks from 4/6 to 5/7 drops damn boxed frame is a pain sometimes.
