Caltracs & Drop Question
 
With my McGuaghy's 3.5" rear lowering hangers and shackles, is there going to be a problem using the Caltracs?? I never lowered a truck before so I'm not 100% sure where the shackles will mount at. I'm thinking they go at the front spring perch bushings and spring perch frame mount.
If that's correct, then how is the Caltracs going to mount without causing excessive movement at the shackle and spring perch? Or will it even mount there at all after the shackles are in place?
Anyone with knowledge of this, please give me some insight here.

to connect to the leaf spring the hangers are in front and the shackles are in the rear. i've heard people on here having to modify the hanger to work properly with the caltrac bracket.

Do you know of anyone here that has done it? I've heard that the Belltech kit was a problem when using the Caltracs. That is only one reason I didn't use the Belltech kit for the rear.
