I replaced the leaf spring perch.

So, I finally replaced my rusted/broken left rear leaf spring perch. It took me about 2.5 hrs total time. I ground the heads off the rivets, and drove them out. I replaced the shackle while I was there. I used Grade 8 bolts from the dealer, to mount the new one to the frame... Overall, it was a peice of cake... Just an FYI
