Abstract: A frame hanger bracket for pivotally mounting a suspension main support member to a vehicle frame features a pair of ear portions adapted to be attached to the vehicle frame. A bridge portion is positioned between the pair of ear portions and a pair of flanges extending from the bridge portion so that a space is defined that receives the proximal end of a vehicle main support member. Each of the pair of flanges includes a positioning member including a space that receives an end portion of a pivot fastener attacked to the main support member so that a double shear connection is formed with the pivot fastener. The bottom end of a shock absorber is pivotally connected to a distal end of the main support member while the upper end is pivotally connected to an outboard upper shock bracket. The shock bracket may be mounted to the vehicle frame with the ear portion of the frame hanger bracket sandwiched between the shock bracket and the vehicle frame rail.
