Yep... thats all I would do EDIT re adjust the pinion angle also That is the way I do it, let the floor jack down so it is barely holding the rear end up to have a tiny bit of weight on the shocks, remove the bolts and either raise or lower the jack to the holes you want to us Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
