Leaf spring mount breakage... normal?
Last fall I replaced the front mount for both leaf srpings on my '96 4 banger that I just got rid of. Yesterday I was doing a little easy (nothing hard on equipment) offroading and broke the drivers side front mount on the '97. So this will be the third one I have changed since last fall. Do these break alot? Should I buy a new passenger side mount while I'm at the dealer?

it was on 2 different trucks John....
the spring hangers are bad about rusting out and breaking....espically on '98 and older Rangers........
IMO....get all 6 brackets (2 front hangers, 2 rear hangers, and 2 shackles) you need from the dealer to fix it on the '97 so you wont have to worry about them again.....i did all 6 of mine when i swaped in the lifted leafs......cost me right at $115 for the brackets and all the grade 8 bolts.....
