    The only thing wrong with the hangers was the ride height. I currently have a DJM 2/4 drop which uses lower A-arms up front and shackles/hangers in the rear. When I pulled off the DJM hanger and monuted the caltracs hanger, the bolt hole was about an inch lower - which would have raised the rear of the truck about an inch. I found some belltech hangers that will work with the caltracs. I might have to modify them a bit but they'll work. I'm thinking about doing a write-up when I go to install the caltracs with the new hangers.....

    I already returned the caltracs hangers. From what I have researched tho, these are the appropriate hangers for a 2/4 drop when using caltracs
