Interested to see if anyone has a 2wd conversion they flipped the rear on the 4wd hangers? Trying to determine what it dropped the rear? Longer shackles? Notch? Thanks in advance!

2wd conversions with 4wd rear hangers - pic request

I did a 4 inch shackle flip and 7 inch shackles. I don't know how much lift I have but it worked out good. Your pinion angle is going to be all out of wack and will require work.

It's a long bed c10
I think someone didn't understand the question.
You want to lower your 2wd by using 4wd parts?
I know you can lower the rear by putting longer shackles and you will not need to notch the frame until you have more than 4" drop.
ya i dont get his question ether ? ? ?
please re think it and type it out again .
2wd to 4wd hangers for rear leaf springs are 3" taller total . this is why gm back in the first few k30 trucks did 3" blocks in the rear until they had k30 correct 4wd hangers .

Reading this again, are you putting a 2wd hanger on a 4wd to lower it and making it 2wd?
That with a longer shackle would get you 4" drop roughly

Sorry - let me start over.
the truck and frame is a 4wd blazer. It has 4wd rear hangers on already. It will be undergoing a 2wd conversion and cross member swap out front. Before I swapped the rear hangers on the back I wanted to know if anyone had done the conversion (4wd to 2wd) and left the rear 4wd hangers and used a flip kit to lower it. I haven’t seen it but have read people were keeping them with a drop shackle. Curious to know if any one had info on it.
Thanks again and hope that clears up the question.

So I did get it right on the second try.
So yes a 2wd hanger will lower it, and a longer shackle will lower it more.

yes. Thank you! Was hoping someone had some pics to see.
Good luck with this here it's all about lifts.
I have a pair of drop shackles if you want.
Should give you about an inch or so lower
flip kit = axle on top of leaf spring gets you the axle tube dia + spring perch height + spring pack thickness = x amount of drop
so yes it could be a cheep way to do the swap over . then if you need a little more go drop shackles to suck it down more .
also this much moving around check the pinion angles they might need worked to line up and be vibration free .
