the frame support thats above the diff. for clearance!

And I suggest if you want a 6" drop don't change the hangers and just do a regular flip with the (perches, supplied plates, shock extenders, u-bolts, shocks and c-notch) I had to get new stock hangers from the GM dealer when I bought mine cuz it had those lifting hangers on it from whoeva flipped the rearend before I bought it which gave it a 4" drop, so when I put the stock ones in that gave it a 6" drop and I just added the shock extenders new belltech nitros and bought the DJM c-notch by it-self!

In this pic I had 3" DJM coils w/ 2" belltech spindles for a 5" drop which
would cause the tire to rub on the inside of the inner fender on a good bump,
I had to put the 2" coils back in when sold it!

I do plan on getting it back when the guy who bought it decides to sell it!

Thanks for the info, I have the same thing as you, but I have 2" springs up front. And I did not about the frame support thats above the diff. Thanks for that info..

And that thing looks sweet! Did you have to use a spacer for the front wheels at all? I did not know if the hub was to big for the wheel or what.
