its fairly easy. jack the rear of the truck up and place jack stands under the FRAME, its usually easier to go ahead and take the rear tires off, take the ubolts completely out and let the rear down but dont let it drop hard on the ground, use your jack to lower it down out of the way, there is a little bolt that holds all the leafs together, you will need a pair of vice grips and a wrench to take it out, the leafs will not come apart without the bolt removed, so take the bolt out and then removed the leafs, now when you go to put the bolt back in you will notice that theres not enough threads to tighten it up all the way, i used some washers and a lock washer to make up for the space of the missing leafs. any other questions?

also one more thing he left out...

when you get to remove your leafs theres a little metal things that your gunna have to bend with a pair of vise grips to get the leafs apart as well..

either than that you should be good to go.
