OK, here's what I'm up to. - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm currently running all 3: leafs, shackles and hangers. I think I have 2" leafs and running in the tallest hole on the shackles. I am in dire need of a c-notch. The added weight of the bed cover has me banging the axle on the frame. And before anybody asks the bumpstops are gone. Even torched off the mounts.

Yeah, I'll probably end up with a notch also. Going to try it first just to see how it looks. Don't haul anything anyway, but with the crappy roads around here, I don't want to end up banging the axle into the frame.

Capt, you know me too well. You know when I make my mind up, I can't wait. I know you would have made me a saddle or I could have had one made, but I'm too impatient. I like to do stuff like yesterday.

I'm not a very patient man.

Just got off the phone with TECH support at DJM suspension. The guy claims the hangers are non-adjustable, he also says the shackles are non-adjustable. I don't know what to beleive. Is their one person on this board who can say they've seen the DJM hanger with adjustable holes? I think people are getting the hanger confused with the shackle. The hanger is the front leaf spring mount not the rear, sorry to state the obvious.

I can't say about DJM, as I've never used their stuff. I do know Belltech hangers are not. I do know Western Chassis shackles are so called adjustable. They do have 2 holes.

As I said, all the hangers I've ever seen have only one hole.

Yep. I have their shackle/hanger kit and both components are adjustable 1-2".

gldevall · 03-26-2003, 09:41 PM

Yep, my hangers and shackles both have 2 holes in each

AirMale · 03-27-2003, 03:45 PM

O.K.
I made another call to DJM and got the same DOPE on the phone. I argued with him about his hanger and he kept insisting it was non-adjustable. I said that I need to speak to someone else in TECH about the hangers. The next guy now tells me they are adjustable. Thanks to those people in this forum I have an option for futhur drop. You guys are awesome!

glad to help in any way possible

I got so much help from the guys on this forum when i knew absolutely nothing at all that i feel like i should return the favor as best i can. Went from knowing like nothing to more than i could imagine in a very short period of time. Kinda funny how that pic i posted is directly off of DJM's website.. and the tech there said they only have one hole.. hahahah Once again, glad to help

Yep this site and the guys (and gals

) on it are very helpful. Before buying anything thats costly or questionable I like to ask here. Someone usually has something to say about it
