Broken leaf mount

[vbrad511]

My 97, 4wd has got a broken rear leaf mount on the drivers side, and the passengers isn't far behind. Where's the best place to get replacements?

Believe it or not if you can find a local parts store that carries "Dorman" parts. dorman makes replacement hangars for rangers.

I almost expected them to be dealer only. Thanks

So do I need to plan on shackle kits and bolts too, or do these usually come apart clean?

15 bucks?! Cost $50Can. at dealer.

The factory brackets are riveted to the frame. Torch, hammer, hammer and chisel. GOOD LUCK

I wondered about the shackle bolts and bushings?????

Mine didn't come apart. My shackle was rusted through so I got a Belltech shackle/hanger kit. It depends on how rusted they are together though.
