I haven't gotten around to installing my leaf springs yet, but it shouldn't take much work to get them in there. You may have to ream out the bolt hole in the front hanger a little bit and on the rear shackle you can use the factory one, you just might have to cut out a little bit of the shackle to make more space for the spring.. I'm not sure if the '07 shackle will fit our trucks or not. If you use your factory shackle, you might want to change the shackle bushings while it's apart.
