86 Crew cab build

I bought it last year a few pics my plans to shorten which I have done don't have any pics yet changing it out to 5 lug soon I have notice that some trucks the shocks are on the inside of the frame some outside mine are inside I have measured my rear pads and they are off there not in the same place as my 8lug rear end. I am wanting to use hangers and shackles in the rear to lower it I have a rear hanger kit for the half ton will it bolt in place. wanting to maybe do a 4-6 drop if i do this I know i would have to do a flip

Re: 86 Crew cab build

well a few pics of some progress all 5 lugs under it. I did a shackle drop on the back 2 1/2 spindles and cut coil of the springs. The back has to come down more or take it up some in the front what do you guys think
