Hangars from some mid 70's GMC pickup, probably a 3/4 or 1 ton. I couldnt tell, it was flipped on its side at the junkyard and half of it was gone. Drivers side shackle after the flip.

As level as I can get horizontally to give a good idea of what kind of angle to expect with a similar truck after a 6 inch lift.

Pinion angle after the shackle flip. The level is there for reference, but I dont know how much help it is. I'm not using any shims, not even the factory ones. Just the leaf springs on the perch.l

I think it looks good when all is said and done. Took me a couple days goin at a leisurely pace to make sure I didnt screw up, but I'm happy with the results. No stupid blocks or shims!
