80-97 Ford 5", 6", 7" Hanger and Rear Flip Kits

80-97 Ford 5", 6", 7" Hanger and Rear Flip Kits

Text Tab

5", 6" and 7" Lift Rear Shackle Flip Kit replaces both the shackle hanger and the spring hanger.

Kit is designed to keep pinion angle close to stock as possible while lifting the truck.
Rear shackle flip kits position the shackle downward in order to allow the rear leaf springs to follow a more natural arc instead of fight the leaf spring under compression.
The spring hangers have three holes to aid in axle positioning.
Noticeable ride improvement.

Application:

-Truck: 80-97 Ford F-250/350 and 92-18 E-350 or 80-96 Bronco/F-150 (requires additional drilling)
-Spring: Kits fit the 3.5" overall width spring.

Includes:

6" and 7" kit uses 4.5" RFK Rear Spring Hangers 5" uses 2" RFK
Rear Shackle Flip Bracket
Hardware Kit to Bolt to frame.
Reuses factory bolts to attach shackle to hanger.
7" kit includes our 1" lift shackle

Additional Information:

These kits fit the 80-97 Ford F-250-350 platform, and can be modified to fit the Bronco / F-150 by re-drilling the frame mounting bolt holes.

Will not fit 78-79 without re-drilling pattern.

We also offer Heavy Duty Stock Replacement Shackles and 1" Lift Shackles as well

Kit is laser cut and cnc formed 1/4 and 3/16" PO steel, USA made!

-Remove Factory Rivets and hanger
-Install Rear Shackle Flip (there is a left and right, line holes in frame up with bracket so it runs close to parallel with the frame) secure using 1/2-1.5” bolts. It is very common to need to die grind 1 or 2 holes in the frame to line up with the bracket. Ford stamped and riveted everything so nothing is ever quite the same twice.

Do not try and install one side at a time, you must remove all hangers. After removal, install new brackets loose, push springs side to side to help set square. Install axle, loose, also push side to side to square. After all components have settled, tighten axle u bolts and then start working up to tighten the rest of the components. Failure to follow this process will result in many odd dimensions being off.

Pinion angle should be checked after installation, corrected if needed. Axle center line may have moved forward from stock. Giant lift springs will affect axle position more so and is very difficult to plan for without having parts assembled on the truck.

Worked great

Used the front hangers on a 79 f250 4x4, bottom two holes of the new bracket matched the bottom two holes on the frame, just needed to drill them out to 1/2" to install the lower bolts and drill new holes in the frame using the bracket as a template. No measurements or aligning required. Look much better than the old factory ones and brought my pinion back where It needed to be.

Worked on a 73-79 dent-side!

I used this kit to mount some 2015 Super Duty springs in my 1979 F350 and it worked perfectly with some careful measuring and enlarging of the spring eye bolt holes. The build quality of these parts is top notch. The ride quality with the longer springs is a huge difference. Definitely worth the effort.

We agree! Definitely worth the effort. Thank you for your review.

Shipping

I order this kit and it fit up perfectly and I was able to adjust my pinion angle with both hangers everything bolted up so easily and they shippied it to me in 3 days! Even with COVID going on.

The times we can get an order out faster than we expect. We know your excitement. Please let us know if we can do anything else for you!

I put this on my overland truck to get rid of the blocks and increase ride quality on and off road. With the rsk in the front and the HD 1" longer shackle it leveled it out nicely.

6 inch Ford leaf spring hanger kit

I cannot emphasize enough the quality of the parts in this kit. Everything fit perfectly. I was able to install this in one afternoon. I no longer have the stupid rear lift blocks and the truck rides amazing. I would highly recommend any parts from Sky Offroad Design.
