I mainly want to look at the front hangers and see what they look like compared to mine. I would think surely they cant be that different.

Couldnt I find an 08 model, and measure from the bolt on the rear hanger (not the lower shackle bolt) to the bolt on the front hanger. Then take that measurement and space the front hanger the same distance on my 05? That Hanger take up most of the width of the frame so its not like there would be a lot of up and down adjustment where the front hanger bolts to the frame.

well I wasnt wanting to dump a bunch of money doing it. Thought if I could convert over to the 08 leafs for a dcent price I would. I'm wanting to do a OUO Traction Block. But looking like a pretty big headache so I may just do the OUO Tracton bars on my current setup along with a set of airbags.

I threw a pair of Velvet Ride Shackles on there this morning.
