Default Lowered the back of the truck.

Well I have had the rear lowering hangers for a few months now, so I figured I would get up this morning and install the hangers. All I have to say is, it is not an easy mod!! But if you have a torch and a good friend to help you take the bed off the truck, it will save you hours of work.

and bolted the new hanger on with the supplied bolts.

I did it all in 4 hours and never even dropped the gas tank.

After it was all done it looks good, but I need to do a c-notch and get some movement back in the rear suspension.

Looks like it was worth the work. Definitely has a much better stance! Looks good.

Thank you sir, aside of beating you to death! Yes it was very worth it. I need to c-notch it now.
