my "adjusted" spring hangers
« on: September 02, 2011, 06:14:00 pm »
these are the front hangers on my 2wd project. hoping to get about 6" total in the rear and then work on the front (want about 4" there).

That looks like it would do the trick. I am only assuming you are going to drill two more holes in each of them? Also are you going to shim the axle to keep your pinion angle correct?

yepper. i didnt drill the holes just yet. and there is call for 2 leafs to go missing in the packs, so i am sure there will be an angle finder in my future.
