check these out my new spring hangers & shackles i had made for my 4runner

I'm going to use chevy springs. I'm going to change the shackles, add a square tube to the center to beef them up. My fab. guy is making them for me at this time.

Holy Rock anchors Batman

add some leafs to those springs

shackles look good as long as they are for the back, not the front

Its a hanger, add another and they will be hangers. The front one sticks down about as far as mine does so i wouldn't be worred about it as long as you gusset it good. Is that shackle for the front springs or rear?

I'm going to weld a square tube from one spring hanger to the other spring hanger and to the front frame cross member. I was planning on using the shackles for the front and rear after i get the new ones made. Then add some chevy springs that a friend of mine has. They work great on my brothers Dodge but mine i change to fit my 4runner.

Those are huge...would be pretty sweet if you frenched them into the frame then built cross-bracing around them.
