I just found a crack in the left front spring hanger. Does jeep still make these? Does anyone know if theres a stout aftermarket hanger? Thanks in advance

Front or rear mount of the front spring... just so others and myself will know...not sure if they are different off the top of my head but I don't think so...

If it's front shackles, then MEPCO Jeep can supply OEM with top bushing installed, I think they're between $20-30 each. Don't think there are any upgrades off-the-shelf.

Its the rear of the front spring.
Mhoffor, how much do you want for the hangers?

Jeepnut,
IF you don't have any luck finding the hangar.. you can make one of 3.5" box steel that's 1/4" thick metal. This is what I used to make my drop-down hangars on the rear of my 78 waggie. Common steel mill should carry this stock in plenty.
The bolt hole should be drilled with a 9/16" bit... FYI
If your curious... go here and look at the inverison kit link... the front hangar of the rear spring. I won't be the same design as you need but may give you ideas.
