Video footage is meh, can't really tell what you are doing, but Mike definitely need to be replaced gonna do both rear leaf spring hangers, new shackles, and leaf springs and lift blocks for the rear on my 08 super duty next summer, along with front coil spring buckets to replace mine so they are brand new and not rusty, fuckin Michigan roads all that salt, and brine they use kills people's trucks, will be ordering the parts before hand soni have them.
If I recall correctly 60ftpds on hanger bracket and 120/150ftpds for shackle bolts. The shackle should have the weight of the truck on it when torquing, bracket should be fully tightened before installing shackles. May want to confirm those specs as it was a long time ago so don't quote me! I also used loctite on the hanger bolts.
Highly recommend a air hammer for doing shackle Hangers. You can cut the heads of the hot rivets off with a sharp chisel attachment on air hammer. And it’ll assist in pushing rest of hot rivets out of the frame.
Thanks for the video. It was very helpful. I have a 96 that I'll be doing pretty soon.

@@JoeR_1 sweet thanks, I'll be doing these soon on my 97.
@@nu321 nice man, grinding those rivets out is a pain. I ran through like 3 grinding disc's on this project. Good luck!

Yea, grinding them out was a nightmare, air hammer would have saved a bunch of time. Thanks for watching!
