Rear drop?

So I already put 2" lowering shackles on my 85 c10 but I want to go just 2 more inches. What are some ways for me to do this?

Re: Rear drop?

Drop hangers for the front of the leaf springs. They are usually 2" drop also so that would make a total of 4" when used with the rear shackles.

Re: Rear drop?

The only hangers I can find do a 3-4" drop on there own and that would make
5-6 and thats too much for me. If you could post a link to some hangers that do a 2" drop that would be great!

Re: Rear drop?

Big job but you could cut and mount your hangers up 2".
There are a few guys here that have done it.
