What size is that ball pean hammer? Love your videos!

Why didnt you just take the bolt out and slide everything off?

Hi, i have a 13 caravan and the rear is squeaky and noisy. Saw another diy guy replaced coils and the rubber grommet and squeak wasn't there. Any thoughts

Si what's it look like don3?

This turned out awesome! I cant wait to make one.. can you link the socket sets you bought?

nice work thank you will help my replacement but my brackets are broke any extra ideas for those?? New sub here

This suspension sucks the alignment never aligns even with laser

I appreciate this video greatly. It saved me a lot of time. It also made a pretty difficult job a lot easier to measure and straight foward.

Nice video but what if you dont want to disconnect the front end of the leaf spring and still need the back off in order to replace the shackle?

Nice to see a modern mechanic who knows how to use a cutting torch. Every serious mechanic should have an oxy-acetylene outfit and there are plenty of very high quality used US-made torches from the golden age of OA (1930s-1970s). With some practice ya can wash off a large nut and not hurt the threads. For rusty hardware I grab the torch first. If you don't mind the stank you can cut straight through a broken shackle in the middle. I suggest practicing on scrap. I learned in a 1970s scrap yard where a cutting torch was the primary disassembly tool for pulling drivetrains, rear axles and front suspensions for the different grades of scrap. It's fun and fast. BTW I slather every spring bolt I install with quality industrial a anti seize.

Good buddies are always willing to Help You with a Nut Punch

Like saying, ' upgrade to a V8 - first make sure you already have a V8 ' Pointless video.

Why don’t you have to heat treat them

So, I have a 96 Bronco, is the gas tank on that as large as the bronco? cause mine spans the width of the frame right there where the hangers are and Im trying to find out if there's a way I can avoid having to take the gas tank out.

That is custom tools made, for a certain job, in a certain area, over time. This is knowledge over time, and that is power. Being from Ohio, we know the deal.

I think your wire speed as just a little slow

I want to thank you very much. Your video help me immensely. I have a two thousand and eight Hummer h three. Your video was great even though It was a few years ago. Thanks again guys.

just bolt spring hangers and equalizer together. then measure diagnol to get it square..

You used frame to bracket bolts that had threads all the way up to the underside of the head. So, the threads are being squashed by the frame and the bracket. Of course, this would never be acceptable in aircraft design or maintenance. O only use bolts that are not full threads on the bearing surfaces. Have you ever had call back problems associated with the weak threads being destroyed and wallowing out the bracket and frame holes?

Brand new workshop with brand new tools And brand new skills

I have a 2012 Ram 1500 with a leveling kit. Old original springs in the rear with 2 inch block. Can I use these springs with the block without changing shocks?

i gotta get this done 😢 my mechanic dont seem so thrilled

Thanks for showing us the improved parts and your process. You may want to reconsider wearing gloves while running a drill press. You can easily get caught up if the lands on the bit touch your gloves. I’ve seen it happen to someone I worked with and it’s scary at best and dangerous at worst.

Have you ever tried P-80 lubricant?

End of the world? More like their world 😂 it wont come with any warnings What solemn crews opnions from cult space informations when will it happen?

What type of jack/lift is that?

I watched this video before I did this job on my 62 Kenworth. Your technique worked like a charm. I wouldn't have known how to get the adapters apart otherwise. Thanks!

I’m doing a nightmare reyco suspension chassis, I had to re bush 4 radius rods and upon removing them all the rear bolts were seized to the collar inside so they just spun. So I ended up cutting the bolts from the inside of the hanger just to get them out. And now going back all the damn holes are off, it was quoted to be a 4 hour job! Smh what a annoying job it’s been

This fellar is sharp im grateful for your video im learning 😅

Will heavier coils increase towing capacity?

I have the henrickson HN series suspension. It looks the same as this other than the bolster springs are different. My bolster springs are just two pads on each side, but they're wider and cover the entire surface area of that spot. What im wondering is, is there any difference between these two suspensions? Is the removal and install basically the same or is there so big difference i should be cautious of? Im getting ready to get into mine here soon and get everything replaced, so im just trying to mentally prepare myself as much as possible.

Scott, Great video, Your heating method with the air Hammer works great! Very impressive on how fast you get the job done.

You differently know what you are doing, great job and good info, I have 2000 Silverado one spring support broke off, should I go ahead and replace both sides, thx again for you sharing your info

These guys do not f*** around

YES!!! Finally, a mechanic who admitted that "he wants a professional to do it" so he can screw you on price. Gotta love fake mechanics like the dude doing the work

Is this better than using a kit to “flip” the axle using the kit that is offered by Dexter?

Is it possible to build a double axle trailer with drop 5200lb axles but spread like they do with torsion axles

What are these blocks made of? Is it possible to weld? Just seems so sketch.

Good job

Had the timbren bump stops on my Ram 1500 for towing my RV. They were OK until our first trip with the travel trailer. It was way too harsh once it had that weight on it. Took them off immediately. Was towing my travel trailer with my Expedition Limited. Was looking to go to a 1/2 ton truck. Really liked the Tundras but couldn't find one with better payload capacity than my Expedition. Finally found the Ram I have now that has 1735lbs of payload capacity. The new springs you are offering are a good solution.

Good looking truck, don't see many standard cab, long bed trucks anymore. Everythine id four door, short box, option loaded family trucksters.

Installed the 351-893HD on a 2023 Ram Rebel, crew cab, zero change in the ride height. Slightly stiffer ride in rear end, feels fine. Note, if you don't have a pit to work in, it's a easy changeout to remove the wheels and work from the side.

This is my first time catching you guys on here. I like people who just want to get things done so I’m subscribed. With that in mind, I’m not trying to be a naysayer at all so I hope you don’t take it that way. I have to say, though with this shackle install that leafspring bushing got melted. I know this was a challenge and you were against the clock but that really needed to be replaced. It was compromised.

I cut the bottom bolt with an angle grinder, I wasn’t going to lose to it

Is it possible to do a 4” lift or is it better to just flip the axles? I need to lift a 2004 StarCraft 20’ trailer

we would like to see when you installed all the hardware too!!!

23 3/8 was your center to center of the leaf eye??? mine is 23 1/4 is this possible,they are 3500 pounds, so it would be 23 1/4 x2 and + 3 inch ,is this ok Gef

Still pretty impressive. We always run into a stubborn bolt or 2.

This kit worked perfectly. I highly recommend it.

I was looking to go with an inch spacer in rear as my Bilstein 5100’s up front leave my front about 9/16” higher than the rear. I just got a trailer so figured lil lift in back would make sense. Then I thought of better coils. My 4x4 shop says I would need new rear shocks as well (also said same w the spacer). Any opinion to that. I like this coil option, would make sense for me.
