yes you can do it yourself but on our trucks i really do recommend payin the 60 or 70 to the shop & letting them bust their *** to get em out.......definatly up to you though...either way you have to put the rear axle on jack stands...unbolt the bolts...jack the rear end up until the hanger hole lines up with the leaf spring...PITA...trust me...but i'm actually about to attempt it again because i have nothin to do today

No, I didn't cut into anything but it was a serious PITA and I did mine on a lift! The way the bolts go into the bracket they run into the frame, and it makes it a pain to get them out. I had to shift my rear axle all around to just barely get them out. If you attempt to do this, make sure you have a friend to help, cause one of you will have to get the bolt out while the other wiggles the axle. It took me and my bro, on a lift, about an hour to do the adjustment to the rear shackle.
