DIY4x FGB52 kit question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Any of you guys that have used this kit on a 2wd to convert it to a 4wd, how did you locate the position for the rear spring hanger? Does one of the bolts go through the bottom of the front cab mount where the rivet was, or just in front of it?

Have you called Kert at DIY4X? He's pretty helpful.

Yes the front cab mount needs to be trimmed.

So one hole is actually lined up with the old rivet hole in the lower part of the front cab mount then? What about the front hanger does it just bolt on where the old mount was, or does it need to be relocated and holes drilled?

The front spring mount and the core support are welded as one so the core support stays in the same location.
