BADRCSB

I have done this exact thing on a ford, just cut it off and reinstalled from the outside in. I did the flip on my 2014 RCSB and never removed the tank, i was able to shuffle the rear end to the passenger side enough and get the driver leaf spring around the outside and under the axle.

I happen to have a set of Belltech 6401 shackles, and 2ea Belltech 2212FF performance series shocks if anyone is interested. Only used for few months.
