Source for rear leaf spring FRONT hanger on K3500.

[rcb1]

I have looked everywhere without luck for the front hanger on the rear leaf springs. I saw one person a couple years ago on here that was looking for them, but never found them as far as I can tell.

Mine are about ready to go.

The scrap yards here either don't want to mess with it or the hangers are basically scrap. Pull-a-part doesn't allow power tools. The rest of the yards won't allow people back there anymore.

Any thoughts? I'd put up a want ad, but as I'm new I won't be able to for a while. Not to mention I'd really prefer new if there's any possibility of doing that.

Are the 3500s any different from the other 4x4 models? LMC has them listed as if all 4x4s are the same, part number 8 on this diagram.

I had been told 3500's had a heavier hanger, but who knows. I'll have to take a pic, but I think mine looks different than that drawing. If I read that right, $150 seems a bit steep for a hanger..

Thanks for the find though! I guess if nothing else, there's that.

You would think that the hangars for the rear wouldn't change between 2wd and 4x4. Maybe it's a reference to the 3500 hangers and they ID'd it incorrectly as a 4x4 option?

Mine on my 8 lug k2500 were different from the ones on my k1500... not saying they wouldn work, but they are different. They can be removed pretty easy with a cordless drill.
