Thoughts On Lift Kits

2inches from shackles, 2 inches from the hangers

 

oh yeah, that matches like perfectly

 

now you know what ya gotta hunt for to get some height back

 

can I use some of these parts to put it back to stock or is it all different?

 

You could find either OEM, or lift shackles (think i've seen them before, not sure how good they are). As for the hangers, i'm really not sure, May have to find OEM. But i will say, taking the drop ones off will be super easy, compared to the gigantic rivets the factory ones have for them. Those required torchs n junk

Once you get it all off, clean them up real good, and see if you can sell them.

Edit:

If you havent gotten new shocks, they are probably drop shocks on it aswell.

And taller blocks too could get you some height back

 

good advice, should just go out and find a parts truck...

 

Hangers just order new if you go that route. Factory ones have rivets that wont come out, and will probably ddamage the hanger in the process. I know mine did. Just reuse the bolts from the drop ones, or get new grade 8 ones i believe, will be much much easier.

 

could you do one w/ out the other?

Yea you can, but if you do just one, you're only gonna get about 2 inches back. Both will give you 4, and put you right back to factory specs. Also when/if you do it, remove the pinion angle shim under the leafs if it has one

edit:

your pics from earlier, cant see any shims, might get lucky with those not being there
