    Great write-up @EatSleepTacos !
    Got mine done myself over the weekend and really wasn't too bad. Just takes time. I drilled everything out since that's what I had - took a while but worked just like it should.

    Awesome, I'm glad the post was helpful. It really isn't too horrible of a process, just takes some time depending what tools you have available.

    didn't you just quote the answer to the question you already asked? I'm confused.

    Incorrect. On their own, V3 hammer hangers provide zero lift. When you put in an aftermarket leaf pack, such as the RXT, you will get whatever lift is advertised for that specific leaf pack.

    I plan on getting the hangers this weekend and was wondering if in order to notice a big difference I have to get the 3.6” shackles?
    Will be there a noticeable difference if I run the HH with the stock shackles?
    I have Icon rxt option 1 and I’m looking to improve the rear suspension.

    There will definitely be a noticeable difference with stock shackles still. If you have a shock relocate, put some poly bushings in those stock shackles.

    definitely do not need to change shackles to get the big benefit. stock shackles are not a compromise, guaranteed.

    noticable change, sure, but the big benefit changing to Hh from stock hangers he'll get Hh & stock shackles, if that was the question.

    Just to concur with previous concurrences, you only need to get the Hh base kit. I start to recommend the Archive shackles when you get a shock relocation. A good thing about stock shackles is the zero maintenance rubber bushings. Most off the shelf shock options for stock location aren't needing poly bushings to fully extend them

    Couple of cool shots of my beloved HH. Safe to say these do not hinder droop travel in comparison to a shackle flip. Archive poly bushings in there also helping.
