New From Marlin Crawler:

When installing longer rear springs on your Toyota the rear spring mount must be cut off and relocated. If you do not wish to reuse the stock mount, these are and ideal replacement. This is a must have part if your converting 91-95 coil sprung 4Runners over to leaf springs. Uses stock Toyota spring bushings. Heavy duty design. $30 each

Great idea. I could have used some of these on my build. A little spendy though. But if you need them, you need them.

They are laser cut, then folded, then welded. The more processes you have to do, the higher the cost.

We have had a lot of call for them espically on 4Runners so we started making them.

Those are nice Chris. Now we need a set with bushings that will accept a 5/8 bolt for 63" Chevy set-ups. :D

Just run different size bolts/holes drilled in the shackel.
I have the toyota size bolt in the top that goes through the stock shackle hanger, then the chevy spring bolt that bolts the spring to the shackle!

Chris Those are sweet! I was on a budget so this is what I came up with. I used 1/8 wall 2” square tubing and 1.5” .120 wall round tubing with wrangler bushings. They took about 3 to 4 hours to make so the $30.00 each doesn’t sound to bad. I like the thicker wall thickness on the Marlins better than what I did.

I'd say they are worth 30 bucks a pop. Just for the convinience factor. For those that don't have loads of time on their hands, such as myself, anything I don't have to spend a lot of time figuring out is OK. Besides, if one breaks while I'm driving I have somebody to sue.

LOL!

I expect most truck owners will reuse the stock rear hangers. All you have to do is cut the stock ones off with a die grinder and reweld them back on. The stock ones are plenty strong.

It's the rear coil 4Runner owners switching to leaf springs are asking for mounts like this. I have received many calls asking how in the world are you suposed to get just the hanger from a junk yard.

Bullet, yours came out looking real nice!
