Hello all,
New here, but I know the value of first hand knowledge, so help if you can. I just finished removing my rear leaf springs (94 F150 4x4), what a PITA!! The U-bolts were easy, as was the front spring bolts. Now the shackle bolt. that was a different story. Got the nuts off but could not drive the bolts out of either side. Ended up cutting them off. After the springs were off the truck I did manage to drive them out, and they appeared tapered. Is this the case? Also, I dont want to reuse the hangers because the bushings are shot. Can I easily obtain new hangers with the bushings installed? BTW, I'm replacing them because my driver side leaf broke and they both were generally tired anyway. I had 3 leaf, and am installing 4 leaf. Thanks for any help

 

Yeah mmike you can get those from your dealer or any spring shop should be able to help ya out with those and the bolts that you'll be needing
