Can I tighten the front bolt of the leaf pack before putting weight on the truck? I just mine installed and my buddy tightened the front one before putting weight on the truck, he did waited to tighten the rear.
It's very simple, don't try to install a lift spring on 1 side, while the other side still has the stock flat spring locked down. Notice in the video we don't have a stock spring on the other side. Just make sure to follow how we have the axle pinion supported by 3 jackstands so it won't roll down and fall.
Watching this after did it with 2 tiny jack stands and a floor jack.. after dropping the driveshaft had to pull out the factory bottle jack and many pry bars later we are together. 10/10 follow this method😂.
Got mine (all) yesterday. Install this weekend. Really looking forward to it!

Yeah, that's ok with poly bushings only (not ok with bonded rubber bushings)
can you use these leaf packs with stock hangars and shackles?
Yes, no problem, but you'll just miss out on the ride quality improvement that Hammer Hangers bring
You left out the hardest part! Getting the center pin to fall into the axle perch! That needs to be explained / taught. It's a nightmare for most!!!
