SPRINGS AND HANGERS

HERE IS THE SHACKLE HANGER WELDED IN PLACE, I BUILT MY OWN, I FELT IT WAS MUCH STRONGER THAN THE STOCK REAR ONE..

HERE IS THE SPRING HANGER 2X3X1/4 STEEL WITH 3/8X3 PLATE...

I CHOSE WAGONEER 6 LEAF PACK SPRINGS, THESE BABIES REALLY MOVE AROUND!!  I DROVE 300 MILES TO GO PICK THEM UP, AS I DID MANY PARTS FOR THIS SWAP..

TEST FITTING THE SPRINGS WHEN I FIRST GOT THEM. LOOK AT ALL THAT ARCH, I WAS NERVOUS, WITH THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUCK ON THEM THEY SURE SIT FLAT NOW!!

BOLTED IN WITH THE SHACKLE HANGER WELDED ON, I LET THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUCK SIT ON THE SPRINGS FOR A DAY TO SEE WHERE THEY WOULD SETTLE THEN BUILT MY SHACKLES.  THEY ARE PITCHED BACK QUITE A WAYS, LOOK FOR MORE PICS SOON..
