Leaf spring shackle . . . installed right?
Hey all,
Just need a quick validation that I installed the leaf spring shackle correctly. I've been looking for photos but couldn't find any of our model/style shackle. Thanks!

Yes. Tighten all bolting when it's fully assemble with the weight on the ground.

If you wrench them down to tight you will get squeeking after a bit of driving.

Oh contraire mon frère they must be tight (after there is weight on the springs) or it will wear the bolt holes as the bolts will slowly spin.. and the teath on the center sleeve will eat at the brackets
