Tension Shackle Hanger For 73-87 GM 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton pickup and 73-91 Suburban/K5
Tension style rear spring hanger for 73-87 GM 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton pickup and 73-91 Suburban/K5.
**May be used with stock shackles or our 6" long shackle, measured hole to hole, we have those available here**
**Clearancing may be required for 4" or 4.5" shackles**
Our new rear suspension tension shackle hangers are designed for a couple different uses.
-One is a simple replacement for a damaged hanger or if you need a beefier version than stock. When used with our 6” long shackles, the back end of the spring will end up at the stock location so you won’t change ride height.
-A second use for our hangers is to gain a little lift. If you just replace your factory hangers with ours, you’ll gain 1” of lift height so they can be a good tuning tool to get your truck sitting just how you want it. With our custom spring systems, this will let you get 5” of lift from the rear while keeping the travel benefits of the tension shackle system.
And as always, a solid reason to use them would be just because they look cool and unique!
Pure Beef!
New tension shackle hanger for your suburban, blazer, jimmy, k20, and k10!
Designed to work with our 6 inch long travel HD rear super shackles and Custom springs for the ultimate in travel.
With our new hanger you will be able to add more travel to your leaf spring setup. The stock hanger doesn't allow the shackle to hit full droop.
Also works as a great replacement if your stock hanger is rotted or are wanting to replace your shackle flip.
Here you can see the difference between a stock hanger and the 6" super shackle and our new long travel shackle and hanger:
Install is very simple, just knock out your stock rivets and bolt in this new hanger.
Some key notes:
This new hanger with our 6" long shackles nets zero lift on the rear suspension. The new hanger with a stock shackle nets 1" of suspension lift
If you are using the new hanger and long travel shackles to replace a stock hanger with the 6" super shackle and custom springs you will gain 1" of lift.
If you are starting out fresh with this hanger and a new set of custom springs, the custom spring lift will net the desired height. We will build the springs with the bracket difference in mind.
Includes hanger for passenger and driver side. Includes mounting hardware. Shackle sold separately.
