Default Do you know what a broken leaf hanger looks like ? I do! pics inside.

Yea the pictures speak for them selves, I was hauling two pallets of cement bags today for a friend and i knew i was overloading it but damn i didnt think it would snap and i didnt realise how badly rusted my hangers are. I made it about a mile from his out and hit a dip in the road and the whole drivers side of the truck hit the dirt. and i mean my tire was an inch from touching the top of the wheel well and i got a ****ton of wheel well to spare.

Heres the pics, iv never actually replaced the hangers them selves, and i cant really tell right now with out dropping the spare tire weither or not they can be unbolted or not, any one ever done it ?

I don't know if they can be replaced, but that really sucks. That road salt in MN is really hard on any exposed metal.

I hate the north with a passion man, there has got to be some type of enviromentally friendly chemical they can use instead of salt.

My truck had new ones when I got it (Must be replaceable). Fords are notorious for having those go.

No offense my eastern coast friend, but my parents used to live in northern New York state before they moved back here, more than 25 years ago. They claim its worse out here.

Not sure why they moved back...
