no prob. good choice

dunno if you know how to install them or not but i just took out the bottom bolt.. pulled the bolt through the shackle and back hanger out. then jacked that side of the axle up till the back part of the leaf pack and stock shackle hits the bed... loosend that one and airhammered it out over top of the frame and underneath the bed, dunno if theres any other way to get it out other than between the two
