Installed Shackles and Coil Spacers

[Badali05]

I just installed some Warrior Shackles and some F150 Coil Spacers. I think I couldnt have had any worse luck. It took me 2 days just to install them. I sprayed them down with WD-40, but still had trouble getting the bolts off. I broke 3 Socket Wrenches, and had to go to Ace to get new bolts twice, because they were so stripped. ALso when i tried to put on the shackles, the leaf spring didnt line up so i had a friend push it with his feet and i put the shackle in place. All in all I pleased with the results, but if I were to do it again I would rent power tools. Or just have a professional do it.

what bolts did you have to replace? the warriors come with new bolts. The only bolt you have to remove on the front is the shock bottom and that big nut in the coil

I had to replace the lug in the bottom of the coil. The only reason was because i didnt ant to buy a 1 1/8 box wrench that was $20, that I would only use 1 time. So I tried using a cresent wrench and vice grips. If I would have used the box wrench it would ahve come off alot easier.

How much total lift did you get out of it? What size tires are you running? Did you have to get new shocks?
Do you have any Pics?
