After I got my lift installed, I noticed a big problem I did not foresee. Im using 8” rear springs and a 4 inch shackle flip for my 12” in the rear. The 2 wheel drive spring hangers on the rear are shorter than the 4x4 version, this caused my shackle flip to roll the springs and axle forward to an undesirable angle and short me out of several inches of lift. I got the new hangers and will get them installed with update pic’s as soon as this cold weather breaks.
Bear with me, this is going to be a slow build as the truck is too large to fit in a garage with heat.
