Everything looks correct except for MAYBE the 2" drop hangers. Are you absolutely sure they are installed right? They look a little funny to me for some reason.

The 2 inch drop Hangers, Are they the front or rear bracket that holds the leaf spring?
Thanks

They do not care to look at pics and see if any of this stuff is even the correct factory or after market parts. There answer is buy a bunch of factory stuff and start over. There customer service SUCKS........... I know we have people send us pics all the time when they know nothing about something and we are more than able to look at the pics and get a pretty good idea of what is going on. I am pretty fustrated. So with absolutly no factory tech help I am 100 percent at your guys mercy to get this right.
Thanks
Dave

I got drop hangers on my 4X4 Z71 just exactly like the ones you have in the last picture, and mine are NOT DJM, mine are Bell Tech. But mine are a simple 2in drop hanger, that's why I said it looks like the OEM hanger.

This truck only has 58 thousand miles on it. It was originaly a conversion truck with a stepside bed on it.(not sure if that matter but I thought I would tell you.
On the hangers. The guy that installed them said they would only bolt on one way. See how the one in the picture has a location for a cable. Does the other side have the same?

I've owned about 5 sets of drop shackles, 2 sets of drop springs, 2 sets of hangers(belltech and djm), and currently I run 2" control arms/2" springs/6" djm flip kit and a shackle set at 1"
