Re: "Best Way" Spring Hanger Mounting?
Excellent, thank you Jim appreciate the info! Wasn't sure on the smaller bolt from the pic the 7/16 dwarfs that 3/8.
I think the bolt hardware is nailed so anybody have any thoughts about adding weld anywhere other than to fill partial frame holes? Or would that kind of thinking be a little more secondary if things are going south due to whatever reason? Point being "extra insurance" or "overkill" as it relates to spring hangers?
This is a little off topic because this is a cross member example. This truck is a 72 Longhorn 4x conversion that has been for sale on eBay. Pretty sure all the rear hangers (original) are factory riveted and not sure if the fronts are bolted only? Some heavy sway bars were added perhaps due to a humongous camper. You can see the square body front cross member that was added is bolted and welded. Can't tell for sure from the pic but the angle iron added to the rear frame rails may have been welded on the end also?
Seems to me that was a smart decision to weld the front cross member or perhaps it became a necessity?
