DSE Leaf Spring Drop Hanger Kit (040113DS) - 1973-1987 Chevrolet C10 / GMC C15
Dial in the rear stance of your Square Body without replacing the factory leaf springs or cutting into the truck with the Detroit Speed Leaf Spring Drop Hanger Kit. Designed for 1973-1987 Chevrolet C10 and GMC C15 applications, part number 040113DS lowers the rear ride height 1 to 2 inches while retaining the factory leaf springs and shocks. Two leaf spring mounting positions let you choose the drop that works best for your truck, giving you a simple way to bring the rear down for a more aggressive stance.
Detroit Speed builds these front leaf spring hangers from heavy-duty 1/4-inch-thick steel and finishes them in black powder coat for durability and corrosion resistance. The two mounting holes are positioned 1 inch apart to provide ride height adjustability, and the complete system is 100 percent bolt-on with no welding required. Better yet, installation does not require removing the truck bed. All required mounting hardware is included, making DSE 040113DS a straightforward solution for lowering the rear of a leaf-spring-equipped Square Body while retaining factory-style suspension components.
