well i have quickly noticed a big problem with getting hung up on rocks on my rear spring hangers so im just wondering if anybody else is having the same problem and has added some metal to em to make them easy to slide over and how is everybody doing it Thanks Ryan

Which hangers did you buy? I have the sloped but haven't installed yet, I'm pretty sure they'll slide over stuff pretty well.

Just add a triangle to the front of the hanger so it has a more gradual slope.

yes, it would sit a little lower. just do what mini simp said....add a triangle shape piece of metal to the front

i was workin on mine today
this is the inside ramp

havik · « **Reply #12 on:** Apr 10, 2007, 08:46:22 PM »

and this is the out side ramp. then .25 plate will be welded between them.

MiniSimp · « **Reply #13 on:** Apr 10, 2007, 08:46:44 PM »

Good job, now add the other side and box it in.

Edit: never mind, guess I should have waited until you finished posting!

i was thinkin about a frenched hanger with the 5" spring and a longer shackle. i think that would also make for a good pinion angle. ive got hte 4" up fornt so i think it would match up pretty close.

Exactly right, its what I have on mine only with 5" Marlins up front and did not even have to touch my stock spring pads got the perfect pinion angle. Just check my avatar, you will see the truck sits nice and level.
