Tip. Do not tighten those bolts until all the weight of the truck it on them it can cause premature wear on the bushings and they aren't in the proper position they are normally when on the ground

@wadeparker5020 6 ай бұрын

I disagree because there is nothing to compress. Shocks, yes, definitely wait until truck is on the ground but shackles don't compress

Nice, clean 1988! I had a 89 black Silverado for about 10 years that I miss a lot. I like the nose down rake so used 2" shackles in the rear and 2" drop Springs in the front (maintained factory alignment). American Racing Torq Thrust I I wheels (retirement present to myself). Stainless cat-back system. 350 v8 with ceramic coated Edelbrock Tri-Y headers. Matching Lear topper with dark smoked glass. Wish I had kept it, but good memories. Fair winds and following seas to all.
