Well, it took almost all weekend, but it's done. I dropped the L using Eibach 1" springs and their 3" hangers. The hangers were a major PITA! But it was definitely worth all the trouble. Here are my results:

 

use air tools to grind off and hammer out the hanger rivets?

 

I used an angle grinder, a drill and a good ol' hammer and punch to smack out the rivets. And just after I adjusted the pinion angle and set her down off the jack stands, my friend comes over to check it out and says, "by the way, I just got a new air hammer and......" His last known whereabouts are officially unknown.

Looks much better

 

lol you're funny

I'm planning on tackling the hanger/shakle this x-mas or spring myself, I'll have air tols and help fortunatly

 

Why did'nt you just use 3'' shackles in the rear?

 

So you used Eibach springs huh? Be prepared to replace those within a year. People say they give out under the weight of the truck.

 

Looks nice, any plans on shocks? How does it handle?

 

Took me six straight hours to put the roush suspenion in but was well worth it. Your truck looks good

I used the hangers because I might take it lower later. Therefore I can still use the shackles. I wanted the leafs to stay somewhat level (when I drop it later) and I wanted to get the hard part out of the way first.

No plans for new shocks now. It handles great! I had it aligned to "owner preferred" specs. I think that helped too.

Looks good brother, I'm about to put on JLP drop shackles, had them for a while, just haven't gotten around to getting them on.
