[Turdle]

A bottle jack between the spring and frame to secure it-

OMG! DO NOT LET HER DRIVE THAT THING! Imagine if you have to make a quick maneuver? The rear would swing out and be all over the road. That wouldn't even pass inspection.

I'm so glad I fixed mine, it was probably very close to breaking.

Well, the way our schedules are she doesn't have much of a choice.

I'm sure everyone has seen collapsed leaf spring shackles, but since I was asked to post pics, here they are. She's still driving it at the moment, as her job requires her to. It's an XLT by the way, not sure if that makes a difference.

Holy crap...

Thanks, I'll do that. I think I found them from a user on this board for $30 shipped.

Yeah Blee1099, they're trashed. It's a good thing it was found when it was... we use it to haul the boat from time to time. Thank god it's not a very big boat..

If she really has to drive that thing maybe go over to lowes tomorrow and get a u bolt or maybe a chain and some turnbuckle to hold the spring.

jesus christ!! if you care about her at all dont let her drive that!! all you need is a shackle though. thats pretty bad....
