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

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.

Hey we do what we gotta do. Just make sure that if you have and paint cracks or other exposure to metal that you address it accordingly to prevent to onset of rust getting started.it probably wont look too pretty as long as it works and here i post most my shit here

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.
