This is the metal bracket that supports the rear of the leaf springs.
Mine is rusty on the driver's side,but should probably replace both of them.
If I don't fix it,it'll probably fail the annual inspection.
Where can I find them at? New or used.Prefer used.

 

You mean the shackle, or the shackle mount?

I wouldn't use used on something like that; new is too cheap compared to the risk.

Anyway ... Husky Spring M1821 is the only one I find; and they only list it for 87-93, not 94-96; not sure what year yours is.

That's the actual mount.

The shackle, OTOH, can be had any number of places; Husky M1745, Dorman 722204, and Dayton 330183 are the after market numbers I find.

Otherwise, you may need to find a southern donor truck for it.

Sorry,forgot to add that it's a '95 4WD. It's the metal bracket that's
rivited to the side of the frame rail.

 

95 4WD ... those may be a bit harder to find.

That will probably have to be purchased used. I'd try a Southern boneyard first; hit up car-part.com and see if they have anyone selling the rear leafs around the south.

There's a boneyard in my town has rear springs for $65 - OOOOH!!! The pic shows a bull bar on a 1996! S&A here in Shreveport if anyone wants to hunt them up ...

I may call them Monday and see if they'll sell the hanger after knocking it off the truck.

Thank you! I'd take both sides,as the other one may need to be done soon.
Let me know.

 

Let me contact them Monday and see.

If you dont have any luck finding replacements, you may look at a Dorman catalog for pictures of other vehicles that may be made to work, ie. by drilling new holes, etc.
Attached is a picture of the ones on my 87, and if you need any measurements, let me know.

FWIW, I would suggest removing the bed to replace them. Those things were a pain to get cut off. It was cut the head off the rivet and then drive the rivet through. It took a lot of force, and its going to be hard to do with be bed on.

Here is the picture.

 

there is a spring company that sells them. General KC, I believe it was? Maybe not them but there are many companies out there that sell new leaf springs. I got my last set of new leaf springs from a place out of Pennsy. I forget the name of them. They showed them too for many makes and models of trucks.

 

I found that place in Pennsylvania - ATS Springs.
Just need to figure out which ones I need,as I think the
truck has a slight lift.

I bought a set of HD 6 leaf, leaf springs for my 01 Durango from ATS. Someplace had 5 leaf (same # as OEM/stock) with the same "heavy duty" 2250 rating as these 6 leaf versions had. Maybe was General but don't remember now.
Thoughts were that 2250 lb % 6 leaves would be better than2250 lb % (divide by) 5 leaves..... spread the load out a bit more..... but it really stiffened up the ride... I don't care, but my wife does.... its her vehicle which she still loves..... so were stuck with it.
I have added a leaf to many vehicles before and they did not seem to stiffen up "that much" more, than what was original but it sure did on this one!
before rebuilding the suspension (EVERYTHING... except rear sway bar bushings...4 ball joints, upper and lower URETHANE bushings, rack bushings and front sway bar bushings, 4 new Gabriel Ultra Shocks and the mentioned new springs out back) it does drive tons better than before. I had towed a Wrangler 300-some miles and had a Bronco II on the trailer for the ride home.... it drove like absolute $#!T even without a trailer after that trip.... upon inspection of removed parts I could not find anything really "bad," but it definitely made a HUGE difference!!!
But then again.... the Durango has 270K and counting on the clock, and I'm a former front end/alignment guy with my own 2 post lift in the garage at home..... so the job was not all that "bad" to me at all....
and it helps that this Durango spent its 1sr 12 years in Louisiana, and 3 years of the 7 that I have owned it, it was a garage ornament because of an engine overhaul gone bad, thanks to a stuck wide open lifter and brand new EQ heads (not "rebuilt") that were set up with too-tight stem to guide clearance, and I had an exhaust valve kiss a piston with 6 miles and ~2 hours run time on the fresh engine. It took me 2-1/2 years to dig back into it because of being PO'd at it...... but in that time it got NO salt exposure......

Sorry for the sidetrack, but the info you seek is within the post.
