so what would you suggest i do kert? btw, the brackets and everything are top notch!!

yea im going to try the stock location next. i need to open the hole up some more to fit kert's hanger in.

Here's a trick for you for opening the hole up.

Get yourself a hole saw the size of the hole in the frame. Then get a hole saw 2" diam. Put them on the same arbor. The smaller hole saw will work as a pilot of the bigger holesaw. Saves mucho timo!
 
Like you, I moved my rear hanger based on all the other threads - unfortunately, almost noone has totally finished a swap using lifted springs (Basing110 is the only one I can think of but he really hasn't posted any pics).

I say carefully place jackstands under the springs and let the truck rest on them so you can see the springs stance just as if it was standing on the tires.
 
ill get some pics for you tomorrow morning, as ill finally be off again and will have time to work on it. i moved the rear hanger to the stock location. the angle sucks, its just a little better than straight up and down. maybe i need 6" shackles. i could move the springs in the upfront location on the b52 part, but i want the axle as far forward as possible so i dont really want to do that. as i said, ill get some pics tomorrow morning
