It's time to tackle the rear suspension install on the UglyTruck, my 2000 Silverado 1500 extended cab. I lowered the front end last time with 2" Belltech drop spindles, and this time the back end comes down a total of 4 inches by installing some bolt-on drop hangers and shackles. All you gotta do is take off the bed to gain access (it makes things a lot easier) and move the fuel tank to the side for the driver's side install, which again, makes your life a lot easier. This process applies specifically to 1999-2007 Silverado and Sierra extended cab trucks, but overall a shackle and hanger install will look pretty much the same way on any kind of truck.

When I started out, the stock 4L60 was blown, so the first thing I did was to swap to a 4l80e. After that, I cleaned up the exterior looks a little, swapped some later model wheels and tires, and then rebuilt the whole front suspension last and steering.
