Height. If I kept the original front hangers, the truck would sit slightly nose-up. The 4x4 hangers from the later trucks sit about 3" lower than the originals did.

My camera was MIA earlier, but I'm making progress. Rear axle is painted, frame is primed, and I'm hoping to have the axle and most of the frame reassembled tomorrow. If all goes to plan, I should have the cab back on Thursday.
