Re: rear spring hanger
Kelfab sells drop hangers with longer shackles or you can get stock replacement probably at bronco graveyard.

Re: rear spring hanger
Sorry for the ignorance but what does a drop hanger do? I have the 5.5 lift kit from bronco graveyard. It came with 5.5 deaver coils and j40's. We don't have a lot of open space here in delaware but we can drive on the beach. I got the lift to give a soft ride for the kids.
Re: rear spring hanger
I think you can get stock hangers and stuff through Summit racing also and they offer good service.
Reason people use drop hangers is to use a longer shackle or change their spring angle/ ride height a little.
With a longer shackle the shackle travels a little less degrees of motion through the travel and may help bushings live.
Doesn't sound like you need them if you are happy with height and don't beat on it a lot. Autofab typically sticks with stock stuff there so I would in your situation.

Thanks for the help! I'll start a build thread soon. Can't wait to mount the bumper I got from nick.

Re: rear spring hanger
also check the ford dealer for the rear hanger. I've heard the fronts aren't too bad, so maybe the rear will be the same.
I had 2-3 sets here for a while, but the last set left not too long ago to head back east to a guy in your same predicament.

Re: rear spring hanger
Dorman. They are a little thicker than stock. I got the front hangers for 40 bucks I believe.
