Leaf spring hangers
I have a 95 dodge dakota base 3.9 v6 4x4. I'm trying to get new leaf spring hangers and can only find rear of rear hangers and not fronts. Is there swap kits or anything i can do to replace my leaf spring hangers. Mine are almost gone and about to bust from rust.
I replaced my 94 leaf springs with new but I think the biggest change was the bushings. The new springs did not hold loads better but the bushings and new shackles made it ride better and more solid feeling. Looking at the 95 fsm (chap 3 page 5) the front hanger looks welded on and the rear is riveted or bolted. Would it be possible for you to cut off the front hanger and make the rear one work with bolts? There is a 95 fsm in the FAQ
I am planning frame rust repair at the front leaf spring hanger area on both sides of my 96 SLT 4x4. Although the front hangers are in reasonably good condition, I would like to replace them with new. After lots of looking, found several outlets for the rear hangers, no luck whatsoever on the fronts.
