I am putting a full width 9" in the rear of my ranger. So while it is all torn apart, I am putting in chevy 63" leafs, the 4 pack with the overload removed and belltech 6400 shackles. My question is for people who have done this 1) leave the rear shackle hanger where it is or 2) Move it forward. I previously moved it forward 3 1/2 inches for belltechs and explorer leafs. What have other people done or wish they had done?
 
Almost every one, myself included, leave the rear hanger in its stock location, and move the front hanger. There is a great write-up on this swap in the tech library.
 
yeah forgot to mention I have already moved the front mounts forward according to the write-up in the tech section.
