    Dont recommend flipping them. Not good. Also you dont have to take the shocks off to get the leafs off. Have you already loosened the nuts on the 2 in the back and 1 on the front?

    After you take the ubolts off and the shock drops down just try to wiggle them out. Give it alittle tap here and there and they should come right out.

    If youre tryin to take the bolts off where the shackles are its not guna work. Theyre actually studs welded to some flat plate.
