Leafspring eyebolts !!Help!!
Hey i am tring to install aals and chevy shackles, but i cannot get the eyebolts out of the leafs. I got the spring plate off and the shackle detached from the frame, as well as all the nuts. But i cannot get the bolts to slide out of the leaf spring. They are currently wallowing in WD-40. What is the trick?

are you serious? use a screw driver or a tap. kinda like a rail road spike driving it through. and at that if it has a hex head (Like normal bolts, and its not just a metal tube by now) and its "Caught on the rubber" the threads are what would be caught. so just SCREW it out. if neither of those ideas work, try something else. dont give up so easy unless your no Auto work savvy. it doesnt take a pro to remove a bolt. just keep workin at it. youll get it. AND save money.
If you use the hammer and chisle typ method make sure you secure it with a c clamp or vise or smoething. so it doesnt have play, and it doesnt swing.

you may have to cut the stock shackle up some

Are f150/bronco bushings the same as ranger?
I'm looking to get leaf spring bushings also
those bushings you mentioned
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1982-...spagenameZWDVW
say for 82-96 f150 but only for 83-85 ranger, would they work on other year ranger, like my 95?
I found the best deal here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...mZ130159348323
only $19 (+12 ship) I'd get those if I knew they'd work.
