haha, if u want REAL cheap, u could do what i did: 3or4" blocks, and take a leaf or two out... many people will say don't. I haven't had any problems, but if u have enuff for hangers, get em; they pretty much maintain factory ride (depends on the shocks; btw, deutsch tech=good choice!) i think hangers are around $100, PICK UP A 'TRUCKIN' MAGAZINE! LOTS OF ADS for prices. 1st, get the hangers, if it's not low enuff in back, for $30, get some blocks. Hope this helps.

I don't have any personal experience with any brand hangers myself, but i'd say the most popular/liked would probably be DJM(www.stylinconcepts.com i think), or Western chassis(www.sporttruckdirect.com)
The truck's in the shop, filed a claim; hopefully they'll replace the rims:)....with 20s!!!! lol pretty messed up, just hope they fix it good! Thanx
and i emailed u asking about the WW bumper cover(ufdakota@yahoo.com) let me know. Peace
