Well, here's the short cut. Unbolt the torque arm. Drop the driveshaft. Remove
the bolts from the front spring eyes and lower the front end of the springs.
Remove the rear shackles. Roll the axle forward until you can swing the rear
spring eyes into the proper location. Reassemble. You might need to loosen the
lower shock bolts to get enough slack to do this.
