Stupid front shackle question
Seems like a dumb question but I don't really know.
I have a hunch the front shackles on my truck are shot. However, I can't really see a good place to jack the truck up by the frame for me to even check if they have a bunch of play, or unbolt them and just look.
Any suggestions? Maybe I'll have to just do it from somewhere behind the axle.

jack it up by the axle, then put a jack stand under the frame. take the tire off, and drop the jack. that should give you plenty of travel to bottom out the springs and shock.

I had wanted to put one in front of the spring, but it doesn't look like there's enough room between the shackler and the bumper to do it.
Guess I'll have to get in there and look.
Maybe I'm thinking about this too much.
