245/45-18 and hardbody leafs the rear bushing fits loose so I might swap bushings and 2in angled blocks and I need to roll the inner fender lip tires rub a smidge cause their so wide
So you have stock blocks, HB leafs, and HB bushings?

Watch your spring hangers brah. Mine scraped so hard that i redrilled them to keep from damaging my rear leaf springs. Yours are about as low as mine. watch speed bumps and pot holes for a while.
Does redrilling the hangers move the wheel forward towards the front of the truck? In pics it appears to me that it does, and makes the wheel look off center from the centerpoint of the rear wheel well. I know alot of people have done it but I dont think I would just for that reason. Maybe I am wrong, but it sure seems like this to me in the pics Ive seen.

Thanks sicnis but I need a baseball bat and a sawzaw probably doing that today after work then when I can get legitimate help with the front it will b all set exactly like my signature
Caveman way huh? Why not just rent an Eastwood or w/e its called, fender roller, use a heatgun and do it the right way?

Would look sick with a set of countersteers on there. It has a sport look and the eskies just don't have a sporty look.
