Looks good. What are the mounts from? Front 2WD?

Do you plan on adding any bracing from the bottom of the frame to the back of them mount like stock? It just seems like it's a lot of force to be putting on 4 bolts.

Not a put down just a suggestion.

Shibby!!!!! Was the bright red finger part of the install? I'm guessing so LOL.

Yea the mounts are off a 2wd and they are the rear spring front mount.

Yea I am adding a brace out of 3x3 angle iron, I just finished cutting it actually

Are you sure that your new hangers are from a 2 wheel drive? They look more like the tall ones used for the front mount on 4x4 trucks.

 

[85mudblazin]

I am pretty sure they are, there are two different sizes athat are used one is the size of mine and another is alot longer that you have to trim the tops off to fit.
And yes that is using the stock hanger, but they hit under full flex so I am going to fab up some new ones.
