Witch hangers did you buy? When i go to lift my k5 i am probably going to order alot of parts from these guys.


I will say i love this truck, and have since the day you bought it. I should have bought a 76 shortbed 4x4 for 200, but man that thing was rough, made this look pretty. I was just gonna trial rig it, needed a transfer case, lots of body work and such, and i didnt really have the space to take on that rig at the time.

Yours rig is an auto with the 203 case right? Any plans to lift it, or keeping it stock height and such?
I ordered the front hangers because mine where rotted out. Those are the front spring hangers for the rear leaf springs if that makes any sence........ they would go here



Thanks alot for the kind words. I went with DIY4x for the shackle flip to lift the rear. Cheaper then ORD and the stuff is top notch. The welds are great and I am very happy. Also opted for the cross tied 4 inch shackles instead of the standard ones. I do like ORD's set up too. Also picked up a frame with a 4 inch lift. gonna use the front on mine and resell the frame and rear to help offset some of the cost. Also got ORD's front shackles to help keep my lift springs from hitting the frame and bending stuff up.

Here is a link to Kert's stuff
