How do you raise the rear of a Chevrolet C1500 and remove the spring assembly and Spring Shackle?

To remove the leaf spring, raise the vehicle's rear, support on jack stands, and block front wheels. Use a floor jack to slightly lift the axle, relieving spring tension and remove U-bolt nuts, washers, anchor plates, U-bolts, and spacer. Detach the shackle and spring from the brackets. Remove the spring assembly. The installation is the reverse of the removal.

Chevrolet C1500 Leaf Spring Shackle

Chevrolet C1500 uses a Leaf Spring Shackle as a part of the suspension system; the shackle is located between the leaf spring and the automobile frame. Its main role is to provide for length variations in the leaf spring so that it may bend well. Thanks to the relative lack of stiffness, the tire can continue to make contact with the road during a bumping motion. The following types of the Leaf Spring Shackles have been fitted in C1500 models, regular shackle, rear shackle, boomerang shackle and the heavy duty shackle. The difference of these types is mainly in the length of shackle; the longer one is used to add ground clearance and lift height while a shorter one is used as a lowering shackles. Factory fitted shackles might be worn out or rusty, and therefore, must be replaced so as to ensure that the vehicle can be easily handled.
