    Lowered the back of the truck.

    Well I have had the rear lowering hangers for a few months now, so I figured I would get up this morning and install the hangers. All I have to say is, it is not an easy mod!! But if you have a torch and a good friend to help you take the bed off the truck, it will save you hours of work.
    before I started

    took the bed off

    torched the heads off the rivets.

    and bolted the new hanger on with the supplied bolts.

    I did it all in 4 hours and never even dropped the gas tank.

    After is was all done it looks good, but I need to do a c-notch and get some movement back in the rear suspension.

    Yes sir I sure do. I think putting the over loads back in will possible help a little too.

    I have a friend I talked to last night, he does chassis work and is going to build me a set of c-notchs. I'll get some better shocks after Christmas, when I build money back up. Lol
