Also, this is a picture that probably should have sent me to the quick stop for a lottery ticket. all 4 rear hanger bolts came out. were they stubborn, yes. But I did not have to cut them. 1 bottle of propane, 1 industrial size can of PB Blaster and 3 impact batteries later. they are out.

The things you find on a 15 year old truck with multiple owners. Rather than do the correct NORCAL Truck mod they just started cutting. Sigh.... This will have to be remedied.

this is why you don't do lower spacers. shaft boot touches the shock and then you get a tare.

This was mildly uneventful. Upper nut was of course galled in place. the only way to twist it off was to hold the shock shaft which required some improvisation.

New Shackle and hanger installed. I set it up if I have to do some towing i can simply drop the lower bolt out and lift the rear of the truck up an inch for some help. But likely will do helper bags in the future.

Flip installed. New C7 Calipers installed CTSVBrakeSwap adapters Little Shop MFG lines. Opted to get new u-bolts from Dorman. The ones on the truck were to long to use.

Here you can see the new knuckle and CV joint boot. Part of the process is cutting the holding feature of the upper ball joint off. otherwise it wont clear the CV. So that should be fun to disassemble in the future.
