How can I make these brackets to perform the way they should? Can someone post some close pics of theirs? Dont matter if you bought them or made them as long as they work well and give like 4 inches of lift. Just need some ideas to make em myself. Thanks guys!

 

I made mine,there are other pictures in my gallery. I also dropped the front hangers down, I didn't like the pinion angle or the way it moved the tires forward in the wheel wells.

 

Cool, Thanks! BTW you have one of the sexiest trucks Ive ever seen!

 

Stock hangers can be used as well:

 

How much lift did you get just flippin the stock hangers and how far forward will it move my axle?

 

IF you flip the stock rear hanger, this will give you approx 2 to 2.5 inches of lift. If you use either of the above two options, this will net approx 4 to 4.5 inches of lift.
NOtice that the second pic is a stock hanger, but it is not a conventional shackle hanger. This hanger is a donor hanger that looks identical to the fixed hanger used at the front of the rear spring.

I have heard of this moving the axle foward, but I do not buy it. You would have to crank that shackle down a ton on order to create such an arch that the axle would move foward. I mean, perhaps if the leafs had a tremendous amount of arch this could be an issue, but with a reasonably stock spring, the math just does not add up. Not enough difference in the arch of motion to move the axle any amount that is significant.
In Mark A's case, this might have occured because he has a large lift spring and the shape may have contributed to this axle relocation.
I use a bone stock 64" chebby spring, and changing the shackle length does not affect my axle.

You will notice that Mark A.. did a real nice fabrication job, and that he moved his mount foward a bit. The shackle angle will require you to move the hanger back some.

How long are your shackles?

 

They're the stock length.
