    I know there is a write up on re drilling the hole for the front hanger , but cannot seem to find it. Can some one direct me, or give me the instructions?

    Where you drill a hole higher and farther back than the existing. Looking for the measurements. On the front leaf spring hanger.

    It will be centered. If you move the joke straight up youl end up with the axle further forward. Move it up and back and your centered. My buddy did it on his hardbody,

    Youd have to cut into the frame to move it up and back. Pain in the ass to do to the yotas

    I believe it's possible. Nissan guys drill 2" up and either 1/2"-1" back. I was thinking about cutting the hanger off and mounting in the frame rail. I've seen old chevy vans like that. Maybe reinforce the frame with a couple plates but I think it's strong enough already.

    Maybe like this if the frame rail is not wide enough
