i think he does mean hangers for the front! he was asking me the other day on how to get a 4" lift and I told him to go with a 2" hanger drop up front and make 2" longer shackles for the rear (talking about the front springs only here) which will give him what he needs and he won't have to sell his house to get it to where he wants it.

I assume he means the front hangers, off the frame right behine the bumper. Like your oh so obvious not brand name lift kit Pro. I haven't found anyone who makes them . . . kind of odd because you'd think it would be a cheap effective lift, bolt on and easy. I was planning to buy some THICK walled 3x3 tubing (don't know the exact measurements) and making my own that would bolt right on. I'm looking at about a 4" drop so I'll probably include a cross brace between them so they don't bend or wobble. Something similar to this but a teency bit smaller.

Ramboss, if you find them anywhere let me know. Otherwise I'd think they wouldn't be too touch to build on your own with the proper materials and some basic fab tools.

I don't know that I've seen anybody who makes those. They are easy to make yourself, as in my none too subtle example. You might want to check with sky manufacturing...they've got allot of stuff out for our trucks.
