No it's an HD, I swapped the Dana 60 and the springs, which are a direct bolt in to the frame. It's 94 1500, donor is 97 2500.

That's impossible as the spring width is different and requires different hangers on the frame

You say impossible, I say I have one that I'm driving down the road. I guess it's a matter of your definition of impossible.

I am not afraid to do anything but the spring width is different. Can you take better pictures of the hangers?

If you'd do a shackle flip kit, you could get rid of the blocks. As for the front, ratchet straps, long prybars, and tapered punches are your friends.
