I spent yesterday dedicated to getting the truck on the ground and rolling also got to put the tranny in as an added bonus.

But when we got it down on the ground as you can see we have some issues with the leveling as we found out the rear on this truck as it is a 2WD doesn't have the same tall front shackles/hangers the 4WDs have for the rear leaf springs so its dramatically lower in the back than the front...

So now I have two choices I either need to find a donor for the right shackles/hangers or I could use some 4" blocks I have laying around to level it out, which I really would rather not do.

Any ideas? or does anybody know where I can get the right Shackles/Hangers?

(the front of the cab is lifted a little making it look bent)
