spring hangers
My new to me 94 F150 4x4 xlt supercab needs new rear spring front hangers. Doesn't look like it's too tough of a replacement. Grind off the factory rivets and install the new one with bolts. The rears hangers were already replaced. The drivers side hanger still looks ok but the passenger side has a couple of holes in it down near the bottom. Doesn't look to be in a critical stress point but it certainly isn't going to get any better. Any comments or tips?

i got mine at the dealer, they wern't that expensive. i put the frame up on jackstands then used the jack to play with the axle height to reinstall the spring. broncograveyard has a grade 8 hardware kit for $20 which is nice because it might be way easier to just sawzall the old bolts out. the bushings have a tendency to melt onto the bolts making it damn near impossible to get em out.
thanks guys,
Broncograveyard is a nice site. I hadn't checked it out because I don't have a Bronco (although I have always wanted one). Didn't realize they had truck parts as well. The hangers I can get locally from Ford for 49.00 each so it's a matter of paying tax here or shipping from there. Thanks for the heads up on the bolt kit for the springs. I'll definately have to order that.
