Rear spring hanger drop - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

After the 2wd to 4X4 conversion, I had to use 4" rear blocks to match the stock height on the front 4wd suspension. I just put a 4" lift on the front and did this to level it out. Still keeps the shackles right, and seems to drive good. I still am going to gusset the insides with a triangle piece, but I have to go to a friend's place for the welder.

Another option you could have used is to rearch and add more leafs to the springs if desired.
