Do you mean front hangers off of the front springs, of a f250 per say, for the rear springs?

The front hangers of the rear springs, clear as mud. They will allow you to hang the shackle at any angle without cutting the hanger.

I think those Sky brkts bolt on the factory holes with correct angle by removing the factory block on Bronco and maybe SWB trucks, but long wheel base requires a different block.

yea im not sure at what angle they will sit at so i emailed sky-manufacturing to see...from their pic it looks like its at 90 degrees but maybe the suspension is fully extended...but i figure that it shouldnt be too hard to get the angle to a 45....anyways thanx for all the info guys

the brackets from sky are made to be bolted into the factory rivet holes and designhed to retain the proper spring length as well as angle! Give me a week when they come in and I will tell you first hand!

Jason, that shackle bolts right up to your stock mounting holes, right?

Looks cool! Oh, and I love the doorless truck.
