1997-2011 Ford F150 F250 easy shackle replacement

This is the second video I watched of someone replacing these shackles, and both neglected to replace the bushing.......which is exactly what I was looking for tips for. I guess i'll just remove the entire leaf spring assembly and press them out. 🤮

@@tonysolar284 it's a ford. Good luck finding enough good metal to weld.

@Jack K Fords rust. A lot....

[@ricks3313]

@Jack K I have a 95 Bronco and have replaced every bracket that attaches to the frame, and lets not even mention the wheel wells, the lower tailgate or the vacuum reservoir. Also have a 2002 F150. The door skirts on both sides rusted out. Replaced both shackles and all the hard brake lines. Not being ridiculous at all.

[@ricks3313]

@Jack K maybe you should... I had a 1980 Z28 that I got new. I sold it in 2018 with 33k miles on it. It was on it's 3rd motor and second transmission. It literally sat longer than it ran.
