Started on it at about 930 yesterday and had all the tools picked up by midnight. This was kind of a son of a gun to do, Dang thing wanted to fight me the whole way. But anywhoo it was worth it , The truck rides a ton better and I have no lift blocks to cause axle wrap.

 

Very nice. One of Jungle's kits?

 

did u find an effective method to cutting those rivets out of the old ones?

 

Yep one of jungles setups, shot dang things ben sittin in the shed for about a year and a half.

JUst used a torch an took the heads off and pryed the old hangars off with a big bar.

 

Nice flippin job!

Does that affect load carrying capabilities in any way?

 

Don't see why it would, this hardware is about 10 times tougher than the factory crap

 

Should improve reliability as you wont have the axle wrapping as much due to the blocks.

How much did that set you back, pulltilbroke?

 

it was 500 about a year and a half ago, so I'm not sure if he's had any price increases latley.

Another nice thing is everything is greasable.

 

Looks good, it will be nice not having blocks

 

as of nov. 2011 he quoted me 500 plus 60 and change to ship to northern iowa.

 

SInce you removed the block did this lift the truck at all, also what rims are those? I have a set of 2007 powerwagon forged aluminum's readin for my truck. Also does this kit use the factory hanger holes?

 

It might have came up about 12-3/4 of an inch. I'm runnin factory forged 3rd gen wheels.

On some of the earlier gassers these hangars bolt on but they don't on the Diesel trucks so I had to drill. OK so after 5 holes of hell drilling these hardened frames we got the plasma out and then just blew the holes in the frame which saved a ton of time.
