    I realize there are probably a million threads on this already but im looking for a little help on repairing the frame on my '95. Ill post pics later but the worst of the rust is up after the frame levels back off around the shock mount on the pass. side and about the same spot on the drivers side. i was going to order some of the safe-t-caps but im not sure if they will even help me any at all, also it says they are for 96-04 so whats up with that? i would assume 95 is the same? Does anyone know of a good source for the leaf spring mounts and maybe shock mounts as well? Thanks for any help!

    If you can do the fabrication yourself it is quite easy to make your own Spring Hangers

    Really without seeing the truck hard to say the best way to repair it.

    The saf-t-cap wont' go up that the frame rail that far. The shock mount on the pass.side traps dirt and stuff against the frame rail, causes it to rot.
