I'm not sure I would want to do that because over time the rear end tends to sag on these beasts anyways.

Are the hangers hard to do? Iv done shackles plenty of times for inspectiona but I never had to replace hangers before. Thats why im trying m uy options before I buy the shackle and hanger kit.

Is it ok to lower a 3/4 ton 2wd? I only see people lowering 1/2 ton burbons?

I think its only a matter of cutting out your old front hanger rivets and then useing the supplied hardware that comes with the dropped hangers. They bolt into the existing mounting holes.
