I noticed you removed 3 leafs from your 8 leaf spring pack and installed a new hanger. How much drop do you think that will give you? I just removed 3 myself but kept the overloads and did a flip kit and c-notch. Looks like Im between 7-8 inches of drop, but wont know for sure until the cab and bed are on.

I changed the shackles and hangers as well. Did the same combo on OJ too.

Yes it was in the 80's today as well. We rebuilt the turbo350.

Couldn't help but wonder if it was a Ford tranny. Looks good, you make me want to take one down to the frame.
