Question Hanger Options ???

I need to get a pair of hangers. It appears that Western Chassis is the only set that is adjustable 2"-3"...is this right? On the AIM web site it appears that their hanger has two holes and they "might" be adjustable, but I've not read that they are anywhere. Of course I then have Belltech, DJM, etc... also to choose from.

Anyone have any knowledge of the differences, pros or cons of one over another?

Stick with a 2" Hanger drop.. I went with an Eibach 3" and it jams your drivetrain to far forward,, It doesn't leave any play in the driveshaft... Bad news.. I'm dropping it back to the 2" holes and getting my 3rd inch bach from a set of DJM shackles.. Hope this helps...

Thanks...I bought the Western hangers today, simply to have the option. I don't intend to go lower than the 2" drop though. Thanks for the input, that is VERY good to know. I was able to get the Westerns out of Arizona (Sportruckdirect) and save $20 over the Belltech's which would have had to come from Summit in Ohio (none in Reno). I could have purchased the DJM's locally at AFTRMARKET wholesale, but with California sales tax it still would have been more $$$ and would have not been any faster.

Would you agree that I need the 6 degree shims for a 3/4" drop? I have a V6 Supercab.
