I need to get some offset front hangers from my car. I already have the offset rear shackles I can use, but the front hangers must have gotten lost somewhere. Is there anywhere that sells just the fronts? If not, where is the cheapest place to pick up a new set.

Thanks in advance guys

Mancini is the only place I've seen that has the fronts without buying the whole kit.

I stopped being lazy and did some research of my own. Summit carries them as well.

No I haven't I know he makes E body offset hangers, but I've never seen him sell any A body versions.

I bought an A body front set from Cass a couple months ago.

Best part is his are designed so you dont have to put a hole in the framerail.

That's because they're only half inch, not 3/4 or .8" like all the others.

Cass if you see this, has anyone used your offset A body hangers with Caltracs?

In order to run CalTracs, the inside triangular plate must be notched to clear my offset hangers.

BTW, despite what Mopar Performance claims, their front hangers are also offset 0.5". The difference is, my hangers incorporate a counter-sunk spring eye bolt so frame modification is not necessary.

If the front offset is .5" then just how much wheel/tire clearance is gained by using this kit? Most advertise 3/4 or .8 clearance.

Regardless of what anyone advertizes, 1/2" is the maximum additional tire clearance per side, because 1/2" is the distance between the original A-body front spring hanger and the frame rail.

Just because MP rear shackles are offset 0.8" does not mean you gain that much tire clearance.

Thanks for the Reply Cass, Will you sell just front Hangers or only a complete set? If not I'll buy the whole Set. PM me if you wish.
