Getting creative with a cut off wheel on your frame should alleviate that issue fairly well

Getting creative with a cut off wheel on your frame should alleviate that issue fairly well
Ok after hours of searching on belltechs website I think I may have found my problem. I hope anyway. My question is, is the any difference in the leaf hangers from standard cab and extended cab? Someone please say it is...
I have a 94 C1500 RCLB that i have summit racing 2" drop shackles and 2" drop spindles on. My ultimate deal i am wanting to do is a 3"-4" drop. I have purchased a set of 2" drop spring hangars from somebody on here 2 years ago and never got around to it. Have to pull bed off to do a fuel pump, so i figure now is the time to drill out rivets and change these while the bed is off. Also looking at purchasing some 1" drop coils on evilbay.
Heres the questions. I put new heavy duty stock length shocks on this thing about 3 years ago and it rides effing hard. I can only smooth the choppy ride out if i add 500 lbs to the truck bed.
What confuses me us the shock length. I know in the front i will need a 1-2 inch drop shock because of the 1" coils. Spindles height is unaffected.
However in the rear i will have 4" shorter suspension. So far its 2" lower but is using a stock length shock. I found these brackets on evilbay for the rear shocks. Do these change the geometry to smooth out the ride? And if i use them and do the full 4" drop in the rear, what length rear shock will i need?
Also what is a good shock to use that gives a good balance between soaking up the bumps and providing a decent ride that doesnt jar my fillings loose? I was looking at bell tech shocks for all corners.
Thanks
Matt
