Installing B&B Bullets: Advice?
When installing your B&B bullets did you have to drop the cradle? Is it easier on a lift where the suspension is hanging or better on a drive on lift where the suspension is loaded?
Also, does anyone know where I can get the stock exhaust hangers that are at the rear of the car?

I assume you are talking about the exhaust hangars that I posted a pic of?
Mark Rose should have them in stock.

In regards to the BB Bullet install.
No you do not drop the cradle.
Better off if the suspension is hanging.
You will need to swing the sway bar out of the way, to give you more room.
Bullets come w/clamps (two piece), that install should be quite easy unless your buying a set that is welded together as one piece.
Once you have them installed, Don't for gret to wear your ear plugs!
Good luck.

Why do you need replacement exhaust hangers?
Mine matched up well. Just make sure you wrap the threads with tape or something so you don't accidentally knock them through the bumper holes and you have to spend an incredible amount of time to get those sob's re-positioned.

"just make sure you wrap the threads with tape or something so you don't accidentally knock them through the bumper holes"
This perhaps, might be a better way to prevent that from ever happening.
Go to the auto parts store & buy four body crush nuts & run them onto the threads of the hidden bolts to hold them tight against rear impact bar.
That way, next time when you remove the stock GM nuts, the hidden exhaust bolts won't be able to be pushed up into the never,never land confines of the hollow impact bar/tube.
See picture of body crush nut below.
