actually I did the flip in the rear, and when I did that I had taken the hangers off the frame, did the flip, and I bolted the hangers back on with no frame "C" notch....but after when I wanted it lower, I moved the shackles up on the frame 2" or so, but then the shackles were hitting the crossrails of the box floor so then I had to cut out a section of it so they would clear.....and the "two bolts" your talking about will prolly be rusted solid in the leaf spring!
