Pretty much an all day job. The drivers side hanger just about pissed me off that the max! Damn it I should have taken the bed off. It's done now though. Thank god!

Suprisingly it seems to ride good even with them hand tight. Might go ride in a little while find some good road and see what it feels like when I get my foot in it.

ride height change any from the other hangers you had... I know you were wondering if they were installed correctly.

Actually yes. It does sit a little lower in the back, but that's probably because I removed the load spring. The djm hangers were on the right way though.

Went cruise around find some good road and it does ride a little stiff. Nothing I can't handle though. 1st gear is still useless on the street, like butter. Probably worse than before due to no give in the springs. It does hook up pretty good rolling into 2nd on certain types of roads. I really love how the whole truck lifts, it feels more like a performance vehicle now. I can't wait to see what this thing will do on the track. Hope I don't break something with slicks...
