Front Hanger

[rednk1980]

I want to build a front hanger for my 1st gen pick up to save some money on my build up. Does any one know the measurements and what type of metal im gonna need.

 i thought i would build one also, but after buying one, in would be hard to duplicate it for the money. save your quarters. they add up fast i bought the sas kit, but i think the hanger comes with bolts and bushings. don't hold me to that

i built mine. there was one sas kit when i did my sas from all pro and it was $$$$$ the measurements are 29 inches center to center for the spring width and i used 3.5x3.5x.250 tube for my hanger it has about 10 bucks of scrap steel in it

nice, i did some measurements on my buddies who has the allpro hanger and i was gonna use 4x4 tube steel with .250 walls and a piece of 1x2 .120 for the crossmember

I have about $50 into mine.  i took two pieces of 2x3x.250 and welded them together making a 2x6.  baught some spring hangers for $20 and welded them on.
