New guy, question about hangers

[bowmanpf21]

So I have a 1995 4wd 4 door Tahoe. I'm looking for new rear hangers because one of them has a hole rusted through from a previous owner. I was looking at Dorman 722-071, but RockAuto, Amazon, and everywhere else I can find it say that it's specifically for 2 door models. Are the rear hangers for 2 door and 4 door models actually different from each other?

 

[someotherguy]

Yep. Couldn't describe the difference to you but they are different, and in Tahoe lowering kits with hangers, you gotta specify 2 or 4 door as well.

Shoot. Any ideas on what the closest fit would be from any other GMT?

Not sure on SUVs but on pickup trucks they are

The SUV hangers are shorter than the pickups. I had to replace the rear hangers on my '00 Denali.
I ended up using pickup hangers, lifting the rear of the truck 1". Which was a welcomed outcome due to me cranking my torsion bars for my snow plow.
Also, the holes dont exactly line up. I needed to be elongate 2, but that's only a negligible difference...

In the end, as long as you replace both hangers as a pair, there wont be ANY issue with driving, handling, load capacity. Just a slight difference in ride height.

Ya know, I sure have noticed a lot of 400 Tahoes/Yukons/etc. sagging in the rear, too - like the springs weren't up to the job of hauling around the weight of the vehicle and whatever they may have towed in the past. Even took apart a pair of leaf packs for a customer and added a middle-of-pack leaf from a Suburban pack that was carefully picked to be a usable length.

If a pickup hanger would work, that would also help restore any lost ride height due to sagging springs..

Did you use the hangers off of a k1500? Also, was the tailpipe in the way on the passenger side? Looking at it, it seems like it would be to me, but I'm not too sure.

Yes, since the Yukon is a 1500, I used "1500 pickup" as a donor model.
No, the tailpipe had no interference. It is 3" forward of the hanger, tons of room!

Gotcha. I assume you also had to use ths shackles from the pickups?
