In the process of installing these on my Toy hauler, no problem at all, I am working in short shifts each night after work before it gets dark.
It took me longer to get the wheels off and the trailer in the air than installing the first side. I just used a C Clamp to press the shackles on the new wet bolts.I also used the C clamp to press the new bushings into the leaf springs. Getting the old bolts off was assisted with a generous amount of PB Blaster the night before and I put the new bushings in the freezer overnight to simplify that part. I finished the install on the second side in a little over an hour.
Looking forward to taking it out for a test ride this weekend.
