Its just a matter of taking the extended out and putting the stock ones in.

15 minute job to do both sides. Only 4 bolts.

Remove the bolts through the springs at the shackle end, drop the end of the spring to the floor, remove the bolts holding the shackle to the chassis, bolt the stock shackle to the chassis, bring the spings back up and bolt into the shackle.

Easy.

hopefully it does only take 15min i remember when SI3RR4 and i changed his springs, sometimes those damn bolts just dont want to budge. but yes fairly simple procedure

A highlift makes this a very easy job because you can get the car just in the right spot so there is no load on the shackles at all. then everything slides apart real nice.

Doing both sides at the same time helps as well. Take both drivers and Pass. side extended shackles off and then put the stock ones back on.

But you have to hit some thing with a hammer, just cause it make's you feel tough & in control.

P.s. Easy job
