No, it's easier to line up the front bracket first before putting the rear shackle hanger bolts in...
If you do the rear shackle bracket first, you will be fighting to line up the 4 bolts in the front bracket... It's too hard to pry the spring to line up the four bolts for the front bracket if you have the rear attached... :mad:
Put the front bracket in first, then the rear... You may have to use a pry bar to get the rear shackle bracket sitting at the proper angle so the bolts will go in... It depends on the arch of the springs as to what angle you need to set the rear shackle bracket at to get the bolts in...
