Can We Remount Stock Spring Hangers To Lower Truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Considering lowering the '74 GMC 1/2 ton 2WD next month and not feeling the LMC Truck $150 bucks price tag for their spring hangers.

The goal is 2" drop in the front (via shorter springs) and a complementary 4" drop in the rear with new shackles and spring hangers, new shorter shocks all around, etc.

Since we need to cut off the rivets to get the factory spring hangers off, why can't we just drill some new holes in the frame and re mount them higher using some grade 8 bolts? It seems to me like there is room to move them up 2" easy?
