From block to shackles...whats is the easiest way?

I'm removing 2 inch blocks and going to shackles. Will they be easier to install by disconnecting the sway bar and lower shock mounts, then removing the u-bolts and blocks first, and then lowering the axle?

Follow the link. This guy have a pretty good write up.

 

Thanks. I did see this thread yesterday. It makes sense now to remove the blocks and then do the shackles.

 

Just did mine.

Disconnect lower shock bolt, mid sway bar bolt allows you to drop the diff low enough for extended shackles. This is after you take the existing shackles off which will require you to play around with the diff to release tension
