Any suggestions where to get leaf springs installed in Spruce/Stony? Have Deavers and a set of Thuren shackles to go in my 2012 was going to do it in my driveway but it's too big a job dropping the fuel tank etc.

??? Drop fuel tank? I've never dropped tank to swap shackles of leafs. You just have to droop out leafs to get shackles out... At least on a 2008, 2009 and my 2012

Think he's changing the springs too, not just the shackles. Could be a PITA to do yourself at home.

Doesn't say anything about dropping tank.
Have done Fords and not a big job.

Yes changing leaf springs and shackles. Thanks to the link for the jackstands haha, I'm lacking ambition to tackle this on my driveway.

Honestly the Jack stands are the key! You get the truck up it the air enough and supported on the frame. And it's easy.... From there! Done it three times.

Hmm I thought the tank had to be lowered to remove the front spring bolt but I just looked and it seems lots of room.

I've installed lift kits before,(in the back yard) its not that hard, but sometimes getting someone else to do it is a decent option too

Got a set of 2 shocks on eBay for the price of one local.

Blows my mind how badly we get ripped north of the border

After 4 years and 140k of rough rides with my 2" level in my 11 RAM 3500 I yanked it and did a bit of a reverse level(pulled 2/3 of the blocks out from under the springs. Ditched the 35's for some 33.5 duratracs and wow! It's a truck that's comfortable to drive again!
