update:
i got all the parts, hangers, shackles and bolts. mercer spring in trenton, new jersey (800-448-8874), stocks all the frame parts and fasteners if anybody else needs them. as usual, i took no pictures. being a shopless mechanic, this job was a little more time consuming than i had originally estimated. the gas tank definitely needs to come down, so anyone else considering the project should probably soak all the nuts and bolts holding the tank up a couple days in advance. i had several that i was unable to get loose, i had to resort to a dremel tool to cut a few of them out. talk about a nose bleed. this is a good time to clean up the rear part of your frame, so having some paint on hand is a good idea. you'll also need the fuel line disconnect tool on the newer broncos.
fuel line tool
when i swapped out the tank on my 90, i was able to do so with only common hand tools, so i don't know what year they switched the fuel line connections. you could probably get by with just lowering the tank if you had to, but i wanted to clean up the frame rails, requiring the tank to come out. once the tank is out of the way, it is a straight forward job. cut the old hanger out with a sawzall, grind the huck bolt heads off, then punch out the remaining piece from the frame. a little wire brushing and some paint for the frame rail and tank cover. put humptey dumptey back together.
it helps to have a buddy on hand for the assembly portion of the job. with the rear still hanging by the front hanger, i needed help to push the spring up high enough to get the shackle bolt installed in the correct direction.
summed up, if you're going to undertake a similar repair in your driveway, do what you can to facilitate the tank removal beforehand. cutting the rusted bolts with a dremel was, by far, the most time consuming/frustrating part of the whole job. a rusty bolt will only snap when you don't want it to. maybe an air chisel would work, if you have a big enough compressor tank to run it continuously. i do not, so i spent more time waiting on the air tank to fill than i did actually using the chisel.
