Finally.....A Part I Bought Is Getting Installed!
Looks like the My 2/2 drop kit will be going on this Sunday!
I finally took off one day out of the week.
I will be putting on the Belltech front spindles and the McGaughy 2" rear shackles. I decided to just give the shackles a try and see how I like it. I do have the hangers, but I want to try and get my Caltracs to work.
I will try and install them as well.
Wish me luck!

The hangers will be a bitch. Though I'm not really looking for a level look anyways. I kind of like a little bit of rake. Plus even if I did the hangers, I would have to crank off on my torsion bars to lower the front so that the *** end isn't lower than the front.At least that's what everyone is saying over on silveradoss.com. All the VHO. SS, & 2wd SS owners are stating this over there.
I will not be wanting my front any lower than the 2" the spindles will give.
I tell you what, I'll let you change out the hangers!!!
If I don't like the look without the hangers, then the hangers will be on "your" list of good deeds!

I want to see if they can withstand the test of time!
Hell, screw the headers, I do have the Radix sitting next to the headers as well! They seem to be holding up nicely together!

Haven't yet found anyone to help me out in this department that has done hangers already.
If anyone is up to lend a hand, I'll take it. I'll be doing the install this Sunday if anyone is willing to help.
