Default I need more

Just installed the belltech flip kit with hangers. Lowered the rear 6". I NEED MORE!!!!!!!!!! This kit eliminates the stock 1 1/4 block. Has anyone re-used this block between the axle and spring to get the truck lower? From what I can see, it should fit. Thanks for the input...........

Blocks might cause axle wrap. I'd just get some drop shackles.

he flipped the hangers so longer shackles will actually raise it.

Are you sure you put the hangers in the holes that make it close to the bed bloor?

You should just put your stock hangers back on

werd, stock hangers will give you 7"' of drop. Then you can add a drop shackle if needed

Man, I knew you guys would know, thanks much. I can adjust the hangers for another inch lower. I was looking for more. The belltech hangers don't allow for a longer shackle. I like the idea of using the stock hangers with longer shackles. Thanks again.........
