Cal tracs and a 4" drop...

Will caltracs still work as intended with a 4" shackle/hanger drop or will the geometry be all messed up? I was happy with my trucks stance until I replaced my apparently "worn right out!" Leaf springs...

Ask Caltracs.
But i cant see why not as long as your front pivot isnt bound in the drop hanger.

They will work...
The ones they make for the dropped truck is for one with a flip kit.
