How do you raise the rear of a Chevrolet C1500 and K1500 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 K1500 Leaf Spring Shackle

The importance of the Leaf Spring Shackle in Chevrolet K1500 is it is used in the suspension system of the vehicle; it located at intermediate between the leaf spring and the frame of the K1500 vehicle. Its basic purpose is to provide for length variations of the leaf spring so that it can flex in the right manner. This is possible to ensure the tire has appropriate contact with the road and especially to overcome bumpy incidences. The following are the categories of Leaf Spring Shackles that has been used in K1500 models: the regular, rear, boomerang, and the heavy duty shackles. The difference between these types is in the length only: the longer ones provide more distance between the ground and the lift, the shorter ones are used as lowering shackles. Factory-installed shackles can become rusty or weak over time and a regular check and replacement is desirable to prevent possibility of handling the vehicle negligently.
