How to Install a Leaf Spring Hanger?

• Replacing a leaf spring hanger is rather easy. The leaf spring hanger installation consists of a few simple steps.
• You should lift your truck with a jack and place it onto jack stands.
• Then you should remove the front leaf spring from the hanger.
• Grind off the rivets that are holding the hanger and then hammer them out.
• Bolt the leaf spring hanger kit into the frame where the previous rivet holes were.
• Bolt the leaf spring to the hanger. The tricky part of the installation will be taking the rivets off.

How to Install or Replace Leaf Spring Shackles?

• Using a floor jack, raise the rear differential of your vehicle off the ground, Use jack stands under the frame to support the vehicle
• Lower the jack so that the suspension "droops", this will take the weight of the vehicle off the shackle and allow fit for removal of the mounting bolts
• Remove the lower mounting bolt from the shackle and spring and then lower the axle so that the spring drops out of the shackle
• Remove the upper mounting bolt which attaches the shackle to the mount on the frame then remove the existing shackle
• Insert the new shackle and mounting bolt.
• Leave the bolt loose to allow alignment of the shackle with the spring
• Raise the rear axle and align the spring eye with the shackle. Slowly work the spring back into the shackle, raising the jack a little at a time until the holes in the shackle and the spring eye line up.
• Install the mounting bolts through the shackle and the spring. Make sure to tighten accordingly
• Jack up the car to remove the jack stands then lower the vehicle back down
• Make sure the bolts stay tightened with weight on them
