help...Hangers/Shackles
Well I have enjoyed my 3/4 lowered suspension...but....I ordered a 'C' notch and flip kit today to be installed next weekend. My problem is I dont have the stock hangers and shackles anymore. Does anybody have there stock ones just collecting dust in the garage after their lowering?
Let me know..please!!!

Hey cableguy,
That is a good looking truck you have there. Have seen some other pics of it you have posted too.
I wish I could help, but haven't lowered mine yet. I am debating on the 3/4 or 4/6 kit. I have the 275/60/17 Goodyear Eagle GT II tires on the 17 inch rims on my '98 STX flareside. Lookes like you have the same tires and rims. Are you going to lower the front more too? If not I think your rear will then be lower than the front. I am concerned with tire clearance with these tires and rims if I go with the 4/6 kit. Have you seen anyone else that has done this with our tire and wheel combination without any problems.
Anyway, good luck, and hopefully someone will still have the stock shackles and hangers.

No... the new lower will put it "exactly" even.
right now it is still hiked up to high in the rear. The photo above doesn't do it justice, this parking spot is slanted! I'll certainly post pics.and let ya know.
