    All hangers on order shipped out today, damn near filled up two UPS trucks with hangers alone! They had to call for back up.

    Welp, accidentally just read through all 66 pages of this thread :anonymous:

    Have concluded that @JLee is the man and I will be ordering these hangers and shackles in the AM.

    One question: I currently have ext. travel 2.5” Kings with an RXT leaf pack. I understand I will gain no lift, but will I gain any additional droop with these? I know a shock relocation with a 12” shock will give the most droop but was wondering if I would gain anything with just the brackets and the shackles for now.

    I do plan to do a shock relocate down the road.

    Negative. The limiting factor will still be the shocks.

    Noted. Think I’m just going to pull the trigger on everything lol. Hate that I missed out on the king shock and relocation bracket group buy end of last year... should have done more research before I bought my OEM replacement Kings

    So dumb question, but what do these do?

    Are people breaking off their OEM hanger mounts, and thats made a need for beefy ones?
    Do they provide a lift?
    Are they just eye candy?

    I know very little about these, so I know I dont need them, but perhaps in the future I might.

    There was no factory replacement or upgrade for that matter. Wheeling in the rocks will end up bending the stock hangers. and if you install a HC rear bumper the hangers are the first thing to touch the ground coming off a ledge.
    These were developed with that in mind, A beefed up factory replacement hanger that provides no lift. The one benefit you get is tighter feeling rear suspension and with the optional shackles you will get more articulation "Down travel" by removing the loaded factory bushing.

    Eye Candy for sure!

    If you reuse the factory bolts sure, but if you use our bolts the dry torque "spec" is 129lb-ft we recommend German torque "gutentight" on those as 129ft-lbs is going to make the shackle pretty much solid in the hanger. You want them tight but you also want to allow for shackle movement.
