This brings up a good point, and something i have wondered about myself. Dont recall seeing a build thread using this method? Seems pretty standard to whack 14" starting at the rear cab mounts and a few of the tail. But not this route
Maybe someone has done this and can school us. With a 1 ton at least.

this guy sorta did that, just the oppasite though. took to much outa the front and move'd the axle back to correct it. it does show what's involve'd with move'n the hanger's.
mine is 2WD and will ride about 3" off the ground.
the link's Getto and Joe post'd will help me out. one thing I did read recently is on 1/2 and 3/4 tons ya take 6" off the rear but on 1ton's only 3".
we'll see soon as I get home !
