Leaf Spring Hangers
My truck is in need of new front hangers for the rear leafs. I found these Spring Hanger, Front of Rear Leaf ......but when installing, new holes need drilled into the frame. Does anyone know of a brand that will match the original hangers so that new holes wont need drilled?
Thanks for the help.

Junk yard? Rivets can be a PITA but if you can get them off a 2wd ford they will be longer/taller I think and then take the the rear and do a shackle flip='s more cheap lift?
OE# : E0TZ 5775-A
Ck out "Dorman products" item 722-012 its for a 80 F250 I would call them and get some measurements on that one and see if it will work?? Link to the site below, good luck.

I posted this about a yr ago. I am looking to finally replace these hangers within the next couple months. Would anyone happen to have a Stock set of these they are willing to part with? Again the issue is the aftermarket ones do not line up to the original holes in the frame.
Btw 77&79F250 thanks for the help really appreciated, but if i can get away with not drilling new holes or going to a junkyard and spending an entire day messing with those dang rivets on another truck I'd be alot happier.

Did you contact Dorman's and ask if they can get you one for a 79 and are there replacements a OEM fit?
If you can get new ones, why not get the holes welded shut on the new ones, and use the frame as a template on where to mark and drill new holes in the new hangers instead of the frame?

Try Leaf Springs and Suspension Parts by Auto and Truck Springs I bought rear spring front hangers for my highboy from them. They are exact copies of the originals. For pics see my thread Betty turns oil burner - Page 7 - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

I've got the hangers off an 80's bronco here. Not sure if the attachment pattern to the frame is the same but I think it is. I know they're the same as the 80's/90's F150 4wds (also 3" wide springs). If you're interested I can get measurments on the holes to see if they'd bolt up. If they'll work for you call it $20 & shipping and I can get them off to you.

I'm not sure I will PM you and look into it. As said above, they might be longer/taller.
