if you jack the truck up, dont completely tighten the shackles until the truck is sitting on its own weight. if so, they will squeak while you drive.

are there torque values for the shackle to the frame and the springs to the shackle? I'm doing mine this weekend, hopefully I'll grab some before and after pics as well.
