Details
If you are looking for a front spring hanger for your Toyota, this is the best engineered front spring hanger available today. Why? We have found that with excessive off road use, the front hanger can be bashed in many times. The hanger itself usually holds up, but the factory Toyota frame doesnt. The amount of surface to weld on many hangers allows the frame to tear out and roll under the vehicle, especially on Tacoma's.
This hanger resolves these issues by increasing the amount of surface area to weld.
Its also designed to be "Low Profile," meaning that it does not give as much lift as other hangers on the market, by over an inch. That means that your "3 inch springs" will be closer to the 3" lift you are expecting. Your "4 inch springs" will give you closer to the 4" lift you were expecting......and down the line.
FAQ:
Question: Why won't my factory spring hangers work with new longer springs?
Answer: Many aftermarket springs for the Toyota are increased length over stock. In order to allow for maximum flex, they have to use a longer shackle. When you use a longer shackle, your caster is affected. Caster is the forward and rearward tilt of the steering axis from true vertical. If the caster is not correct, your steering wheel will not return to center and your handling will greatly be affected. This hanger allows for: Longer Springs, a "drop" of the front of the spring so that slightly longer shackles can be used in the rear of the front spring while correcting caster so that your vehicle handles correctly.
Question: What front springs will work with this hanger?
Answer: OEM and Aftermarket front springs ranging from OEM length to 47" Long. You will need to weld this hanger in position so as to have a correct shackle angle in the rear of the front spring. It will also assist when doing the common "Rears Up Front" swap.
