another ? for ivan

Ok well im in the middle of the shackle flip and my ? is on the front hangers it says in your gallery that you dropped them 4 1/2 '' now did you have to move them any front or back or straight down ? Oh one more do you have the bushwacker cutouts on your truck ? if so could you get a pic up and how much more of the tire do they cover (my tires are 19x44x16 ) and the truck is a 76' im thinking about doing that to help cover some of the tire.


thanks for all the help

again, i'm not ivan but i'll see if i can't help

all your doing to the front is dropping the hangers. then the rear is where you will be tuning your shackle angles and all and moving your mounts around some

you can move them forward or back if you wanna change your wheelbase any or if you have any clearance issues to take care of but i would suggest just dropping the front mnounts 4.5" and then setup the rear shackles for about 35*

Yeah the only thing in the suspension that you need to move ahead of back are the shackle mounts to correct the angle, the hanger mounts do not need to be moved unles you want to changed your wheelbase.
