Default 2" hangers installed

What a bitch that was. Wayyyy too much grinding for 2 days. I may try to decrank the front about another half inch after winter, but we'll see. And yes, the wheels and tires are just for winter.

Before:


After WAY too much work for only a 2" drop:


And with a full tank of gas, and the spare back in the bed:


And a better shot from a ski trip earlier in the week:

Looks so much better though. I need to install hangers on my truck too. and I think I'm going to do spindles in the front also so I can crank the torsions up an inch for a little better ride

No problem, glad to help. I don't have any pictures, I'd get some, but everything has been covered in snow for the past couple of weeks.

Nope, no rubbing at all. It does look stuffed to hell though.

Thanks man. And I have some, just don't care enough to put them on. It looks dumb with the mud tires, so why bother trying to make the wheels look better.
