Topic: front spring hanger

[milla85]

I have a dumb question.... Does marlins front spring hanger hanve any drop to it? And does anyone have any good links to some write ups on how to make a hanger? Thanks - Nick

Here are some home built hangers

Yes, it is a drop hangar.

[jimbo74]

all of the commercially avaialble hangers hasve drop to them because they are based off of metal attaching to the crossmember... the stock ones are part of the crossmember/bodymount

oh i see! for rears up front would the marlin hanger be enough drop for the pinion angle to be half way good?  Thanks - Nick

[jimbo74]

it will be fine, there are a lot of people running rears up front and no correction for pinion angles with the stock hanger

If you are using a ifs frame you might need a fair amount of arch to your rears up front packs.

hello, well i was wondering right now i got marlin front leaf springs and it seems like a  8" shackle, and i went to put my high steer in the drag link and tie rod hit the springs, so i was thinking to drop the front spring hangers 1"- 2", is that the correct way and i need to fix the pinion angle too it binds..

i dont know, i just randomly made it one day bored. but you figure the spring width on toy axles is 29" then you can figure it out pretty easy.
