Well, if the hangers are like the rest of the GM trucks you'll going to need a grinder or a plasma cutter to remove the rivets! You might find other ways to cut them but is a pain in the gonads! Hangers are the hardest to remove but after that the new Hangers should just bolt on.

I have heard that the easiest way to do it is to remove your bed????

grind off the rivet heads and punch them out with an air hammer. doesnt take that long, took me like 30-40 min to remove the hangers on my old k5blazer.

From what i heard there is a two inch lift block in the rears of those trucks. Did you take that out when you did the shackles.

As stated above, you have a 2" spacer between your springs and axle. Simply order the 2WD U bolts from the dealer and remove the spacer. I did shackles and hangers on my 01 C3 (Denali predecessor) and then realized the spacer was there. The 05 Denali truck is getting the shackle / 2WD U bolts. Much much easier.
