sounds good howd u fab your hanger and what about front rear shackle,, and the rear axle the same?  

[Makohon]

rear axle you dont have to do anything but move the spring perches on the axle closer together and rotate the pinion up a lil but... but if you go with longer springs just cut off the old spring hangersand weld some new ones farther apart.... as far as the front goes just make the same kind of hanger marlin sells but just make it wider to work with the chevy axles!! and then for the shackle hanger for the front do this...................................

You need to decide if you wanna run your toyota u joint's or if you wanna run chevy u joints.  You can buy flanges from High Angle Driveline so you can run the stock toyota drivelines with the full sizes.  I think they have both dana 44 and dana 60 flanges.  then you need to figuer out what kind of steering you want.  You want highsteer crossover or highsteer full hydrolic?
