[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 436165, member: 19498"] I don't recall you mention any aftermarket shackles or not. That being the case if you do have them and the guys who installed the kit got a little to happy with the air tools, they likely overtightened the shackle bolts. Doing this will squeeze or actually distort the ends or sideplates of the shackle which will cause binding and things to not settle freely. IIRC the factory ones are stepped on the shaft and smaller at the threaded ends so no worries provided the correct bushings were used. If they look to be aftermarket, big side plates, welded in center section kinda thing you might try taking a correct sized wrench and see if you can spin the bolt head somewhat easily. If there so tight you need to use lots of force Id back off the nylock nuts a tad to where,and im guessin here, 25 lbs of torque on a torque wrench will spin the bolts. [/QUOTE]
