Default shackles
When tightening the bolts for the rear shackles do you lower the truck and then tighten the bolts. Or do you keep the truck up with the rear end hanging.

Tighten them with the full weight of the truck on them....You're never supposed to tighten any suspension component with the truck in the air.
