rear spring hanger

[jjconn]

Tried the search option, its been down for a couple hours.

I hung my j40's and the spring mounts are on their last leg east coast rot.....any suggestions for new mounts?

Kelfab sells drop hangers with longer shackles or you can get stock replacement probably at bronco graveyard.

I think I have a spare set of stock ones... PM if needed.

Check www.partsgeek.com and www.rockauto.com also.

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.

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.

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.

Autozone has ones that are honestly nicer than the stock ones for real cheap.

Dorman. They are a little thicker than stock. I got the front hangers for 40 bucks I believe.
