Drop Shackles
Getting ready to put a set of drop shackles on my truck. How much time should I allot for this job? I've done add a leafs before but never shackles so just trying to get a gauge of how long it will take.

That's what I was hoping to hear. Was planning on doing it this weekend if the weather is nice but won't have a lot of time to do it.

I've done it many times, as long as you don't have a receiver hitch to get in the way of the shackle bolts coming out it should only take half an hour to 45 minutes. With an air ratchet or impact even less.

I pulled off the hitch when I did the roll pan, so I should be good.
