vendor for a 4" drop shackle & Hanger set - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was going to flip the rearend on my truck, but it is going to be to low for what I use the truck for. So, I'm trying to find a 4" shackle and hanger set to drop the rear of my '87 SWB GMC. Can anyone tell me who is a vendor who sells good kits at fair pricesThanks,

Ed

BTW...I have the flip brackets for my '87...they won't fit my '96 rearend that is going under the truck...Didn't think about the axle tube being larger diameter on the newer one...

i got all my lowering components from www.sporttruckdirect.com , you might try them, they sell the western chassis stuff, and its top notch in my opinion

You could always go the route that KeithSeymore introduced us too. Cut off your stock ones, move them up 2" or so and drill new holes, then bolt it in with grade 8 hardware. Then just get a 2" drop shackle to do the rest. Save some money and get the same effect.
