it's really straight forward. Lift the back end up with a floorjack (put it under the differential with a block of wood so you don't have to worry about cracking it) then put jackstands under the frame infront of the rear tires before where the leafspring bolts into the frame. Then just unbolt the stock shackles. Use alot of PB Blaster or WD40 on the bolts. Then just swap in the new shackles, bolt everything back up nice and tight and youre done. It took me a couple of hours to do mine, but that was just because one bolt was seized in there pretty good. Just bang on it back and forth with a big hammer and it broke free.

Here's what you're looking for though.
