I don't know where the best place to put this is, but does anyone have any pics of caltracs on an obs (or whatever they are now called)
88-98 fullsize with drop hangers.
I saw the ones from nitrous (thanks Lance), but would like to see more if anyone has them.
I would like to know how much to cut away from the hanger to make them work.
Thanks
Redheartbeat does...he will be back today i think.Do a search for his post on caltracs

Yep, don't waste your money, I used a Bridgeport mill to do mine and it was a pain. If you look at the hanger it has half of a circle. You'll need to cut a quarter of it off and I'd almost recommend a little more for clearance.
Thanks for the advice.
well as far as these go i know they make a kit for trucks with a flip kit such as mine and i am running the stock front hanger so will this still be an issue for me? or is it only a problem for kits with different hangers.
Its only an issue for trucks with front hanger kits. They have a fix if you have hangers, they modify and reinforce the aftermarket hanger to work with the kit.
Okay because when i had a 4 inch drop in the rear it used different front hangers but with my flip kit i had to use the stock hanger so i should be all set then. that makes me happy haha. thanks greg.
yeah im happy too bc ive got stock hangers as well. i was worried they werent going to work thoughQuote:

i would say something about getting a set then Greg would beat up me saying i dont need them for my V6...lol
naw, if you have a wheel hop problem then they're great, even behind a V6. I know the grander scheme of things has the V6 coming out one day if the truck doesn't end up in the bario first. :laugh:
Could they fix my wheel hop problem in the sand?
I think some paddle-style treads might do that... :lol:
i know right the amount of people of hispanic descent that keep walking up to me to buy my truck is increasing... i might have to slap on some low jack just in case...lol

yeah i did notice there is a specific part number for the trucks with flip kits so i will be sure to get that one. im just glad i wont have to cut or buy new hangers for mine. and im excited to get rid of the NASTY wheel hop its so violent haha. i really dont understand how i havent broken stuff yet...
