Time to just break down and order some new ones.

I don't think these older springs can handle it anymore.
I'd love to go custom ($$) but it's gonna have to be some off the shelf 2" lift springs for the time being.2000 Infinity QX4, 3.3L, MPFI, 4 speed auto, 2 speed Nissan tcase, Unibody, IFS front, 4 link rear solid axle with 255-70/16s

Haven't done much to the chop-top in months. Except replace the hitch and x-member which got bent up last year during the rescue effort .
Putting in the D60 soon, that means swapping xfer cases (to passenger side drop for chevy 60) and new/modified exhaust. But if I had to, it could go today.'85 Grand Wagoneer "Caterpillar"

Well this is how she looked on the last trip out. Not much new besides the shoes.
Found this when I got home.
It looks worse in person, all the previous welds are cracked around the hanger.
I'll be removing all 4 front spring hangers and replacing them with some I make.
Not just as a repair, I'll be moving them so I can run the longer 74-91 front springs which flex better, are more common and cheaper.
For the time being I'm just going to beat it back into position and secure it with some small welds so I can do some local stuff.2000 Infinity QX4, 3.3L, MPFI, 4 speed auto, 2 speed Nissan tcase, Unibody, IFS front, 4 link rear solid axle with 255-70/16s
