Default Looking for best quality lowering hangers 99 rcsb

They will be for my 1999 GMC Sierra regular cab.

Already have a 2 inch shackle drop in rear.

The stock hangers have 6 mounting points to frame.

What do you think is the best quality lowering hangers?

Thanks

I bought DJM hangers when I owned my sierra. Good quality and are powercoated too.

There's not exactly much to them.

Having said that, some of DJMs products have been known to be shitty quality so I won't use any of there parts. I like Belltech.

That's the type of info I was looking for, just wanting to get the product from one of the most reputable companies.

Thanks

Anyone else with feedback on the best quality lowering company?

I would just prefer to give my money to the company that most deserves it, even though it is a relatively simple product.

Thanks

I prefer belltech especially their notch kit, but I have heard mcgaughys makes nice parts as well.

I like my Belltech's. Hangers are kinda like shackles... kinda hard to mess up. Any of the big name brands will be fine and I'd be willing all the eBay brands are fine too.

One consideration is if you ever plan on installing Cal-Tracs at some point in the future, Calvert Racing is familiar with what needs to be done in terms of clearancing the hangers. Calvert also sells pre-clearanced Belltech hangers from what I've heard.

Either way you go about it though, hangers are a b*tch. I recommend a torching the rivets out if you have access to one. It's the difference between a real quick job. vs a long, sweaty ordeal holding a grinder and getting metal powder everywhere.
