Loosened the shackles tonight and set it down, didn’t seem to make any difference. Also even sitting and bouncing on the tailgate didn’t seem to generate much movement, so I think the springs are just super stiff.

Looks like one of the lines has rusted through. There was an odd paintless spot in the same area, and I’m guessing it’s because a pinhole leak was spraying every time you put on the brakes. Sucks, but rather find it now than when driving down the road and the brakes fail.
Since that was a bust, I set about removing the headliner and managed to get it out without much issue and no damage.
