Yes its a shackle hanger kit. Should i take the leafs completely out? Set them, then move and bolt the axle?

When I was doing my leveling kit, I had to use a strap and a come-along attached to tje trans crossmember to pull the passenger side of the axle backward. It was the only way it was going to line up.

I was able to use a pallet jack and wood with a big ol ratchet strap to line everything up finally. I was just worried about dropping the axle off. I will never try this again haha
