New spring install?

with the rear end hanging...and yes...i had 3rd member and axles and tires on rear...i wrapped a chain around the rear bumper and used the engine hoist to pick up the rear of the car....

i used a big bar...and wedged it in the shackles ..and pulled them down..one side at a time...once i got the angle almost perpendicular ...i slowly let the car down and the weight of the car pushed them back some more.....
