Dorman - OE Solutions Leaf Spring Hanger P/N:722-017
Give the rearward end of your rear leaf spring a solid frame mounting point again with the Dorman leaf spring hanger, part number 722-008, a rear leaf spring bracket kit that anchors the spring to the frame. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1988-1999 Chevrolet K1500, 1988-2000 Chevrolet K2500 and 1988-2000 Chevrolet K3500. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list, including GMC applications.
This hanger is cataloged for the rear spring, rearward position. A leaf spring hanger holds the end of the leaf spring to the frame and carries part of the load that passes through the spring. Over time, moisture, road salt and repeated flexing can corrode or fatigue a hanger. Signs this part may need replacing include visible rust-through or cracks at the hanger, a clunk or knock from the rear over bumps, or uneven ride height at the rear. If a worn hanger is the cause, this kit replaces it.
Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and installation procedure, including whether the original fasteners may be reused. It is also good practice to inspect the hanger on the opposite side at the same time.
