Coachbuilder Upgrade

Well, got her done. Went with the +2 shackles with the carrier drop kit. The press was a well-used rental that pretty much needs to be retired after we got done with it. Had to run a bolt through the bushing to have the press push on the bolt head in order to focus force on the sleeve. Ample PB Blaster was used. Then when lining up the leaf eye with the shackle, we had to use a separate jack along with a pipewrench to slide the new bolt through.

Nothing ever goes as easy as in the videos for me but my good buddy and I managed to get her done. Love the look of the upgraded shackles and the extra rear height.

 

holy shit, I haven't seen those sneakers in years!
