I know everyone says just do a flip kit. I really don`t want my truck that low, will 3" belltech spindles and a hanger kit make it fairly level? Also does any one have any shackles and hangers left over from their project?

Hi, Check my recent post, I went from a 3" spindle and shackle/hanger to a spindle/cut coil and flip kit. With the spindle/shackle/hanger the truck sat fairly level.

Word of advice, save your stock hanger and shackle in case you ever want to do a flip in the futre.

Cheers

I have them on my truck. worked great, but have to drill new holes in the frame. Not trying to talk you out of it. Just something to be aware of.

My first drop was 3/5, used the shackles & hangers in the back. I liked the way it looked. Had to notch the bed crossmember to clear the shackle.
Definitely heed lowhrtbt's advice about keeping the old gear.
