I'm new to this so bare with me..... In order to replace the rear shackles on my 86 do I have to remove my rear bumper in order to get the upper bolt out?

i took my bolt out and left it out, i put a nice scratch on my stock shackles, so i figured it was limiting my flex by a very little.

short answer is no. Unless you break off the welded nut. once you do that it becomes a pain in the ass... so be careful backing those bolts out. Use PB blaster or some other penetrating oil a day or more before you start.

PB Blaster once a day for a week before would be key.

Neither did I, but it would have been easier and faster if I removed my rear hitch.

I have already removed the hitch. I wasn't sure if it was a welded nut or not. If its welded then I shouldn't have any problems. Thanks everyone!
