Learn how to replace rusty leaf springs, shackles, and leaf spring mounting brackets in your truck or suv. I also show how to replace leaf spring bushings and remove the rust and undercoat the frame of your vehicle. We lift the truck in the process by using Chevy/Dodge lowering shackles which fit the Ford Ranger/Mazda B-Series trucks.

Chrisfix is the type of huy who sees the damage snd waits for it to break så make videos
Fantastic Video!! Concise, detailed and enjoyable watch!! I'm coming back here first for any instructional videos!
I ❤❤❤❤❤❤ U Chris!!! Min 4:40 trick is the eff BEST!! Thank you!!!!!!!
Be prepared to pull your hitch off if you have one
Better to have spare parts
good way to destroy your tools by using hydraulics, just heat it up. I'm not sure who would take that advise.
Super helpful! Thanks dude!
Hey @chrisfix, where do you get the center mounting plate from? I have an 06 ranger and oem it's discontinued and I can't find any aftermarket ones
Dobra robota Chris. 👍🏻
I want a bumper sticker that says “POWERED By ChrisFix” ❤ thanks for an amazing video!!!
All good except for the part of replacing the leaf spring bushings, leaf springs are usually 5160 steel and that steel has an specific heat treatment process. By heating the steel you're messing with that treatment and the leaf spring can fail.
Chris you are a great teacher !! Thorough!!
Haha I still drive my truck with this problem
WOW that rust reformer completely transformed the frame. I don’t know much about cars but I’m learning and wow this video was epic. Great job.
What's the part number for the shakle
can you link those adjustable leaf shackles? or are they just any generic ?
That shirt design is awsome I love watching your videos
I love your videos, Chris! So easy to understand and very clear. You've earned your millions of followers. Keep going!
I drove my truck for at last a couple months. I had no idea the leaf spring on the drives side shackle had broken. My buddy just happen to point out my bed had a bump in it about the size of a baseball. It was just like that rigth up against the bed of the truck.
Size of bolts and fasteners? I have Ford ranger. Same truck. Love your videos.
I'm glad I found this channel. Recently bought a Dodge Aspen that will need quite some work this winter. And honestly, it's a slightly less daunting task now.
Awesome, thank you
❤
Chris talks fast so I slowed it down to 1/2 speed. Funny – he sounds just like Jerry Seinfeld!!! oh and by the way – GREAT video!
What we’re the exact shackles I want to buy them as well for my B4000 and how much lift height can they give for the rear ?
