How I Replace My Leaf Spring Hangers and Shackles on My 04 Ford Ranger

In this video I share a few things that I learned in the process of replacing my leaf spring hangers and shackles on my 04 Ford Ranger 3.0L. Its very common for leaf spring hangers and shackles to rust out on ford rangers, especially if the vehicle is driven in the north where salt is used on the roads in the winter time.

Note: this video, while it does describe in some detail how to do this job, does not contain all the information you may need to do this job properly and safely. As always, read the instructions provided by any part you may purchase for your vehicle. Also, It is essential to use an appropriate repair manual. Always torque your nuts and bolts down to specification. I did not share torque specifications in this video. You will need a manual for that information.

Also, though I mentioned that the vehicle will need to be lifted and supported in the rear I did not go into detail on how to do this safely and properly. You will need to get that information elsewhere. Unfortunately, I do not have a video on that.
