ya i have a 98 f150 i had big plans on lifting but after i already had to replace the rear frame cause the guy i got it form overloaded it sending the shocks through the frame i found out that the f ing mounts i just chopped off cost about 300 ea. for the front of rear hangers and 130ea. rear of rear hangers im about to lose it. made a big mistake not trying to slavage them i think but they were pretty bad anyways. so now my question is DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO GET THESE NEW VERY CHEAP. IM not about to drop 1000 bucks on four mounts ill kick the dang thing over on its roof if i have too.

 

front hangers are easy to come by, i think i may stiff have an extra set, just find someone that has done drop hangers and had to take the factory ones off

 

just a note its a 98 f150 ext cab step side 5.4 triton 4x4. im sure everyone who has this yr has ran into the same problem as me. how come they are so cheap up to 96 and the after yrs of our trucks but from 98 to 03 i believe they are hard to find or we have to go junk yarding im just abou tto trade it for a darn cavalier so i can actuallly find parts. if you cant tell at this point im getting pretty discouraged. i found some lowering kits that have the rear mounts cheap but why the heck would i drop a 4x4 even though some look cool its not suitable for me really. plus doesnt help when i need the fronnt hangers also.

 

im not much for using used parts on a rebuild i mean if i get used ones they have to be like new with no grinds or bends because this is a very stressful spot for these vehicles

 

yea they would have grind marks no matter who you buy them from if you buy used

 

big lifts don't have their own hangers?

i'd agree with patman, any stock brackets you buy used will have some "extra massaging" because getting them off is a p.i.t.a.

you could always find someone stripping one out, and cut a set off, without screwing them up. not sure, but maybe the expys have the same hangars.

 

well i rechecked my front ones they will work the back hangers will work if i have to but dang they are thin as heck. im gonna get a set of lowering mounts and shackles and sell the lowering shackles and use the mounts. then just get some regular shackles. and as far as i know any lift i have gotten never included the hangers but this is my first f150. the ranger i had was lifted by blocks and an extra leaf and the brackets for the front all kindly supplied by skyjacker love those guys. but for now to get it on the road this is my plan

 

anyone interested in my f150 when its done im asking 4 grand. will have new brakes all the way around rotors drums and hardware new muffler possibly 20 inch tires and rims got the 17s now maybe new tires for those not sure oil change new frame well new outta the junk yard but was in excellent shape new tank straps new third door cause a little rust on it is making me do so...im so surprised from the back of the cab to the front of my truck is still like new but from cab to rear bumper took a beating from rust but thats all gonna be taken care of. i wouldnt be surprised when im done this truck lasts another 10 yrs or longer. well let me know if you wanna buy it i will have invested what i could into fixing it nicely and by that time i dont know if ill wanna go further. i love the truck but gotta find me one where parts are a little more easier to find because im always do something to my vehicles. 4 grand done and inspected
