Finally installed the ez flex and wet bolt hd kit. Thanks to all those who posted tips before. Did it by myself so first side was about 3 hours second side about 2 hours. I have the harbor freight tool but only used it to seat the bolts. Needle nose pliers took care of the old bushings in short order. I also tapped in the new bushings with a 9/16" bolt...way faster than the hf tool. My 5th is a 2007 and has less than 10,000 miles...plastic bushings were still ok but the shackles were getting oblong and tweaked. My trailer height dropped by 3/16" so no issues replacing my alko gear. Ran out of time so I'll have to test drive tomorrow.
