that and your shackle angle sucks. you have no droop left. either move the hanger forward on the frame or get longer springs.

Yeah, its just ghetto fabed for now to get enough lift. No money into it, just torched the old hanger out and flipped the shackle. Going to get the rest of the truck finished first before I go 56"rears and 52's up front. Theres a lot left to do and a lot more money to spend until its even driveable.

Nice deal hah, I got my 35's for 50 bucks for all 4, I think i'm going to go pickup some 42's he wants 500, I offered 400 there on 6 bolt rims, should I run them on the stock 10 bolts and see what happens? hah hopefully my truck will be as nice as yours soon.

Hey, if you got the spare parts or bigger axles waitin to swap in then heck yeah. Go blow that 10bolt ring gear through the cover! lol. Its fun to "experiment", that way you get an idea of what kind of stuff is really tough on an axle.
looks really good...
