What did you decide to do for the rear hanger, rear position? In order of least to most lift would be the stock C20-30, then 67-72 K series, then square body 4x4 using factory type hangers (each step will change the pinion angle some). Here's a link to the ORD Shackle Flip Kit http://www.offroaddesign.com/catalog/shacklekit.htm if needed.
To my best measurements of the 4x4 truck my father-in-law is restoring the rear hanger seems to be the same height as my C 20 rear hanger. The only thing that seems different is the reinforcement right angle bracket that sits under the frame attached to the hanger for strength. Either way for the moment I'm going to stick with my current rear axle rear hanger until I do a bed off restoration on the rear of the truck. I might swap it out if I come across one in the meantime.


sorry Tylerz181500 I'm not sure what your asking...
