So the other day I notice my truck was a whole lot lower then normal and rode a whole lot harder. So maybe 2 days before I let someone use my truck to haul mulch, probably about 1000 lbs and I never really thought about it. So I decided to look in the rear suspension and found this...
Now I was thinking I could just buy new mounts and just replace the mounts. Would that work? If so anyone have a guide to do it? If it wouldn't then what should I do?

Any idea how much that cost you? And can probably just buy those from like OReileys right?

oh yeah. The shackles were like 15 bucks including the bolts. Not sure how much the mounts would be

I replaced the hangers & shackles both sides. When I did mine I removed the bed from the truck, it made it a lot easier.
