Visited DIY4x website the other day and found out that they’re no longer making some of their smaller items. I had been interested in the B52 front spring hangers. I can’t seem to find anyone else who makes something similar. Anyone know of a company that makes a kit like that?

Thanks

I'd call diy4x and talk to Kert directly. Diy4x is just Kert and his wife so he is the only fabricator and at times he takes things off the website when lead times are long.

Off Road Design has a new front hanger but it doesn't have the multi hole set up like the B52's, I think they are more for a 2wd to 4wd conversion.

Yes unless he wants the adjustability of B52 bracket (4 spring eye bolt positions + stock or 1" forward bracket mounting holes) .
Get it, couldn't tell from the post. Offering an option is all.
