it is quite possible that his hanger is bolted to the frame -upside down..
if the bolt pattern between the hanger and frame is assyemetrical[spelling]
or there is a left and right and they are reversed
then it is likely upside down and flipping it or switching from right to left would lower the rear considerably...
i would say that is the likely case.

if he has the instructions for the kit, check it out or have whoever installed the stuff check it

I agree...it looks like the whole thing can be flipped or switched left to right, as well as turning the shackle around, bringing the rear down a bunch.

I just checked DJM's website as I was curious, and although the pictures are a little rough, their installation instructions show the shackles and hangers just like the pic BlueSS posted.

that could be, but they still might be switchable
beats me, i don't know why they would build a flip kit with a hanger that would un-do what the flip did.
he could also put the stock hanger back on, but it is likely beat up a bit after
grinding/burning the rivits out.

If shackles are the same between the 99-06 and the 07+, then I know djm makes a 1" lift shackle.

what if you install the rear shackles supports the other way and keep your factory shackles. I think you will level out. Let me know

i think it is possible i was looking at that while i was doing the install. I still wanted a little incline it's just that i thought 3 inches was to much difference. I like the way it sits now but it does look like that mount could be reversed
