I already found a way mark... why would i go back and flip the rear ones... If something really bad happens in the near future bc of flipping the front hangers then i just might flip the back. But until then i'll rock my 9'' drop!

Also the pinion angle is giving you such a hassle I couldnt imagine taking that thing on the highway or even think about the vibrations you'll have and the u joints that it will eat. Also isnt your driveshaft rubbing on the crossmembers around the gastank? I know mine is pretty damn close with the 7 inch drop.
Im not saying its bad to be that low it just doesnt seem practical, eating u joints and dealing with that pinion angle and how low the gas tank is almost on the ground. Honestly I would return the front hangers to how they were originally and flip the rear ones and have a safe but functioning 7 inch drop in the back, yeah thats bragging rights having the 9 inch drop in the back it just doesnt seem safe or worth the trouble it will bring. I mean Im sure you can deal with a 5/7 until you bag it and then you wont have the issue of replacing u joints or busting your plastic gas tank.
I love the look of it rolling cali style static but it almost looks to much with a 5/9 drop.

yea i understand what u mean... but i had to get a fuel cell and blah blah... and yes the driveshaft was close to the gas tank but when u get a fuel cell it helps alot lol. ALso ur on 17s right?? im on 20s so my truck sits a lil higher than urs... But im going to drive the truck like this for a month and see what happens.. and if anything real dangerous are risky happens then i will just flip the rear shackles... but i already got the bed back on and new driveshaft and i dont feel like tearing it arpart again if i dont need to. But i'll let u no mark when i do something different. Thanks for ur concern but i assure u it works with the right amount of time, metal, and skills.
