Rago rear hangers

Recently installed the rear shackle hangers by Rago fabrication and wanted to share some photos

 

How do they ride?

 

The ride quality has gone up, I noticed it more in taking turns the rear has more articulation to it. Have a trip coming up to citrus soon so it’ll be nice seeing how they can really preform

 

I’ve been waiting for someone to post about these. What leaf pack do you have?

I held off during the December sale because Rago told me the stock leaf pack with an icon AAL wouldn’t yield noticeable performance upgrades

 

I’m running the old man emu medium dakar.

 

Just recently purchased the Rago hangers along with Deaver stage 3s and flip bolts. Was getting ready to install but supplier drop the ball and delivered the hangers elsewhere..

Anyone here picked up a set of Rago hangers recently unexpected? Haha

Any tips OP? removing the OEM hangers and aside from dropping the rear, shocks lower bolt, etc..

 

I’d start by taking your leaf pack out, the Milwaukee metal bits Iv posted a photo of worked perfect for drilling straight through the rivets. Grind off the rivet heads after drilling through them because after you smooth them out it’ll be difficult to see the outline of the rivets. The two rivets on the inside of the frame are tack welded so I got a Dremel tool to cut them free. Then I just beat the stock hanger off the frame, in my case I bolted the hanger to my leaf pack and installed as one big piece

 

Awesome tip, I did notice the pic with the hanger and leaf together. Great idea. We just installed Deaver leafs and hangers from bamf and it was bi#ch aligning the bushing and bolt, little room to spare for nut and bolt install.. Big thumbs up bro! Good looking out..

 

Thank you! I forgot to mention the reason we put the hangers and leaf together first is because of the leaf bolt and not having any room to reinstall it threads facing outwards.

 

Does the OME secondary spring make contact with the shackle?

 

Not sure if I understand what your saying?

Ahh ok so I talked to a guy about the same issue with archive hangers and he was told to cut his leaf pack. I spoke to Rago about this issue and they said they made the hangers to avoid that issue

 

idk how it would avoid it since its almost identical design to the other hangers on the market. Id still keep an eye on it.

 

I checked my msg and it wasn’t archive he got bamf sorry about that.

 

That convo really doesn't sound like he knows what your asking tbh.Idk why he is talking abut the shackle tube when that doesn't have to do with the issue at all. The issue is the first leaf makes contact with the shackle side because the Dakars fan out. Also in some cases can get stuck under the hanger its self. You just cut the very tip of the leaf off with a grinder. Very easy to do, painless. Leaf is the one right below the bushing eye.Mine is cut in this pic.

 

This is the first time Iv seen that happen with ome, Iv had no issues with mine on stock hangers

 

Thats because the stock hangers don't allow for the droop that a aftermarket one does.

 

What hangers are you running?
