I have the McGauughys hangers on mine. Do not put the hangers on the lowest setting or the Caltracs will bind up, and you will have to notch the hanger for the bolt on the caltrac.
If you have it on the bottom hole of the hanger you wont have any fitment problems at all.

It is possible, but I wouldnt do it. I had my overload spring hit the cal trac bar a few times while it was on the lowest setting, not to mention if you put the hangers and shackles on the lowest setting the rear of the truck will be 1 -1.5 inches lower than the front. I have my shackles and hangers on the top setting and have mabey one inch of rake, and it looks good that way in my opinion.
