Review on 🛠️ Dorman 722-101 Rear Leaf Spring Shackle and Bracket Kit: A Perfect Fit for Selected Ford Models by Warren Hess

Perfect for 4x4 1996 F150 4.9L pickup. It's a lot of work, but doable if you've got hands. I still had to drain and replace the gas tank as it was leaking which gave me room to get under the truck and remove the rivets on the suspension bracket. There are four of them on each side. I used an angle grinder to grind down the heads, they still wouldn't pop out so I drilled each one starting with a small piece until with each large piece the hole was as big as the rivet pin and then the rest of the rivet could be knocked out . After that it's child's play. New bracket screws. Use the jack under the frame to raise the truck until the hole in the clevis bushing lines up with the stud. Note: I did not use the bushing on the top of the caliper that goes into the end of the leaf spring as it was difficult to remove and the old bushing appeared to be in good condition.
