Spring Hanger and Shackle

I need to replace the shackle and mount on my 2001 Ranger. Thoughts on brands? I'm in Ohio so we get rust promoters every winter (salt, salt and more salt).

Dorman?
Ford?
Husky Spring (rock auto)?

Thanks.

I can definitely hook you up. We have an extremely large inventory on hangers and shackles, especially for the Rangers.

I will send you a PM!

Yeah, it looks like i have until next monday before private messages are available. Where might I find your email? Directly through the ATS website? I saw the shackles listed but I didn't see the mounts.

FWIW I think the mounts are all pretty similar.

If the mount is riveted on have a grinder and air hammer ready!

I had to replace a hanger on my old F250, I ground the heads off the rivets then used the air hammer to pop the hanger off the frame, made it much easier. The old leaf spring bushings and bolts can often be a beach too.

I did the rear spring brackets and shackles on my 2002 last fall. Advance auto had the kits for $45 for each side. Took about an hour per side. Hardest part was getting the old bushings out of the spring, had to heat with a torch and twist them out.
