Re: What is this welded to my spring hanger?
Factory did that as a safety measure. The thinking (if I recall correctly) was that if the bolt holding in the front leaf spring sheared in half, leaf spring could pop forward, causing rig to lose steering and spectacular end over end crash results.
That strap would keep leaf spring within the pocket, allowing steering to be maintained.
