    Where did you pick up those Alcans at, and what kind of shocks are you running?

    you got it boss. They will make em anyway you want. Orbit eyes are pretty cool, but i dont know if they'd be better suited at the shackle/frame mount, or the spring/shackle mount?

    Either way, you will love em

    they bolt on, but only will work with the AT flip kit. Reason being, if you put them on stock spring mount, the truck will be lowered since the shackle is reversed.

    You can use them for desert, but honestly, for anything more than a weekend cruiser, i wouldnt trust my setup hauling ass in the desert. Its great for slow cralwing and daily.. but for huge jumps and woops, i dont see it lasting very long. If you look at some of the extreme desert buildups, you will notice a few things with their rear shackle setup. 1 being that they are BEEFY as hell, and 2, they are usually mounted in the frame, or above the frame rail and re-enforced quite a bit.

    yeah, you have to take a grinder to three rivet heads per side. The old hangers dont get destroyed, just the rivets. You could hypthetically bolt back on the original hangers.
