i have the hangers that are under the frame..... so i can't lower it with hangers...... now what do i do? Hotchkiss my only choice? i've decided on the 2/4 drop, that's the look i want.

in '03 they started using different hangers on some models that bolt directly under the frame... giving no room to go up.

Yes, a drop leaf is going to be way stiffer than stock. I dont understand the hanger bolting directly under the frame....I have an 03 and its just like the older trucks.....any pics of this new style hanger?
