For which hanger? For the front - all that material above the frame can be trimmed as an appearance improvement.

For the rear hanger - I don't think I'd go much lower than that last production hole (the lowest one) in the hanger.

The front dropped a bit more than advertised, but the fender bottom just covers the tires, which is where I wanted it. I also had to swap the rear leafs side to side because the standard issue square body gas tank lean was very pronounced at this height.

That's the exact stance and kit I want to use. How was it to install? Any problems/issues?

It went in pretty easy. I cut off the factory bumpstops and had enough clearance that I felt it unnecessary to install the C-notch. I had a nasty lean to the driver side when I finished (that was likely there before, but not as noticeable), so I swapped the rear leafs side to side. Since then it's been great. It's been my daily for almost two years, and dropped for a year and a half.

Mine has a very pronouced lean to the passenger side in the rear only. I may try swapping my leafs to see if it cures it.

Is that a front bumper moved to the rear?

Sexyyyyy truck. I want bags, but since my trucks my daily, and I just had to put another motor in I don't have the funds for a bag setup, or the time to have it torn apart...

Yeah, I was desperate to have something to fill the void, and a front bumper was all I had. Still looking for a proper rear bumper though.

Bet it does. Can't beat the price, either.
