What hangers/shackles did you use? I'm not aware of any available for the 3/4 ton or did you just use the 1/2 ton version and enlarge the holes?

Did you do something to lower the front too?

The lowering kit is from djm. I used the 67-72 kit. The springs and related hardware are the same dimensions as the f100.

Hmmm. I thought LMC catalogs listed different part numbers for 1/2 ton vs 3/4 ton bolts and bushings so i assumed the bolts were bigger in the 3/4 tons.

It looks good!

did you lower the front too?

I did not. It sits level now. Spring width is the same and bolt diameter is the same. I didn't compare the bushing outer diameters. The outer bushing diameters and spring eyes could be different.
