Belltech engineers this specifically for the OBS heavy-duty spring pack dimensions, so fitment and geometry are correct out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt from heavy-gauge steel to handle the higher loads a 3\/4-ton or 1-ton leaf spring pack puts through this hardware, this hanger is rated for real work-truck duty, not just a show truck that never sees a payload. If you tow or haul regularly, a properly engineered hanger like this maintains your spring's intended leverage ratio far better than cheaper universal drop hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation involves supporting the rear axle, removing the factory hanger, and bolting in the Belltech replacement at the frame rail - a moderate DIY job that's very doable with basic hand tools and a way to safely support the vehicle, typically an afternoon per side including the leaf spring re-index.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is commonly paired with a rear shackle kit or de-arched leaf springs for a complete rear drop package, or run on its own for a moderate 2\" rear stance. Check driveshaft angle, brake line length, and shock length\/travel once your truck settles at its new ride height - our shock extenders and DS-2 rear shocks are built to match drops in this range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Belltech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58145151680672,"sku":"BT-C2500C3500-RRHANGER2","price":305.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9720\/2848\/files\/bt_6902_001_640_80__26883.1574502840.jpg?v=1783269964","url":"https:\/\/obsrevivalparts.com\/products\/belltech-rear-2-drop-hanger-1988-1998-chevy-gmc-c2500-c3500-truck","provider":"OBS Revival Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
