Can We Remount Stock Spring Hangers To Lower Truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Most of you may already know I followed my truck down the assembly line as it was being built.

I knew that a 3/8" grade 8 bolt was the factory repair for a miss hit or missing rivet; since I knew I was going to be lowering my truck by relocating the hangers I asked the guys on the line if they would use all bolts to put the hangers on.

They wouldn't do it....so I had to cut the rivets just like every time before.

I cussed 'em out with each rivet that I knocked loose.

Wow, sounds like you had as much pull as me at my job after 20 years, lol, good to see not much as changed in companies over the last quarter century (they don't listen to you but then come to you to fix it)
