check your spring hangers!!!!

Just a reminder to check the spring hangers on your trucks, I looked at mine on my F250 and then parked it!!

Husky spring has them in stock and will ship them anywhere (I got mine for $25 each). Most dealers will have to order them, if they can find them.

Whoops I forgot to add to look if you live in the "rust belt" mine were rusted so bad that I am not sure how the spring was supporting the weight of the truck.

Friends blazer mud truck always sat funny, but one day when I drove it the bang from the rear wasn't quite a right noise. Spring hanger rusted away and just bashin' away on the floor pan in the rear.

The rock auto ones come from husky spring too, they just print off a different receipt.
