on my HD, I spun my hangers around a couple of times before figuring out which way they would go, but they fit both ways if I remember correctly.

Could you take the factory Hanger. Drill 4 new holes in it to move it up some and lower the rear that way?

Never thought about that. Not sure if it's possible. I'm trying to decide if I'm gonna modify some belltech's to work with cal trac's, or put factory's back on and lower the rear another way. Maybe drop leaf springs.. or 3" shackles and pull the over load..

I dont think they make 3" shackles for our trucks, if they did I believe they would hit the bed.

I know a guy that used to do this on the older 95ish trucks. Seems like a PITA to drill the frame.

Im pretty sure mine flipped whatever the stockers were. Like if my stocks looked like a U, after the install it was a N. IIRC.... whichever way it was.....

I'm not talkin about drilling the frame. just the hanger.
