Hotchkis front spring hanger question

When I torque the bolt it's going to bend the bracket in. If I'm not mistaken, the FSM says 125lbs


The factory hanger fit snug, but it was rusty and went away with the rest of the 7 1/4 assembly. I probably should've muscled the thing off and restored it.

Add washers, bend it, or contact Hotchkis.

IHMO you'll need a factory hanger. Or your rear end will be looking like it's too low and the car will be looking sloped backward.
