i'm thinking along the lines of a 4" drop like shackle/hanger kit but doing it all at the back so i don't have to c-notch the frame (with flip-kit) or deal with the hassle of getting the stock hangers off.

my main concern is that it's gonna throw the nose of the diff. down too much and cause the u-joint to bind and pop.

i really don't wanna cut the frame.
