> Karen--are you saying that the unloader you posted works well on the GMC? I wonder if it works OK on the stock suspension vs the more typical "U-bolt" style I see developed for the GMC.

The original Kent-Moore J-22517-02 u-bolt style works fine. Here's a picture of a real one:

Some of the knock-offs of that design don't work -- the arms on the "U" are too short or
the cross-member is too thick to fit and allow complete unloading of the pork chop.

I don't have any experience with the J-shaped versions.

FWIW, here is what I made for a unloader tool. Uses a 4" "U" bolt and pieces from the old Warner bearing tool.
