Re: moving hanger and shackles
yes you have to grind the heads of the rivits off and punch them through the frame then replace with Grade 8 bolts.

Re: moving hanger and shackles
No, two is not enough. You will need to drill two new holes.

Re: moving hanger and shackles
Had the same springs in mine when I did my BUDGET drop. Ended up taking out 16 leafs, i would have to go look in the snow bank. Replaced the centering pin, used STOCK shackles and moved BOTH hangers up the frame. Not as low as I want it but it works for now.

Re: moving hanger and shackles
Holly Cow, I'm guessing mine where a little softer than yours. Have you moved the hangers up yet?
