Do this:
Chock front tires.
Place jack under rear axle diff.
Take tires off.
Jack her on up.
Place jack stands next to the bolt where the leaf spring bolt goes into the unibody.
Let axle down to take weight off the springs.
Pull the U-bolts. (replace with new ones)
Remove the shackle eye bolts and frame rail bolts. (21mm)
Pick up pack to get the center pin lose.
Install new pack in reverse order.
What's wrong with yours? Thought you had AAL's

Dam that many hundreds? Forget that lol
@Will nothings wrong with mine, just wondering because the AAL were a huge freaking pain and I don't have the air tools do leaf packs. Reason I asked is because next jeep I get I'm doing 4.5 with full leafs and I didn't feel like installing lol
