Overview
The Mountain Off Road Enterprises (M.O.R.E.) SR103 is a front pair of heavy-duty spring shackle hangers for the 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler (YJ). The hangers are bare steel and are stock replacement units for rock crawling and hard use.
The hangers are made of chrome-moly steel and are well reinforced. They are designed for stock springs and aftermarket lift springs, with the spring either under or over the axle. They suit owners who have bent or worn factory hangers on the trail.
Key features
- Front pair of spring hangers
- Bare steel finish
- Chrome-moly steel, well reinforced
- Direct replacement for the stock hangers
- Designed for stock springs and aftermarket lift springs
- Works with the spring under or over the axle
- Intended for rock crawling and hard use
Spring hanger wear and inspection
Spring hangers hold the leaf spring ends to the frame, so they take the stress of every bump and every flex. Look for cracked welds, enlarged bolt holes, and bushings that have worn loose. A hanger that has bent on the trail can shift the axle position, changing the driveline angle and steering geometry, so any bent part should be replaced rather than straightened.
Hangers installed with lift springs often see more load and more flex, so check them after each season of hard use. Spring position, whether under or over the axle, changes how the load is shared, so confirm clearance for the driveline and brake lines through full suspension travel. Keep the bolts tight and inspect the hardware during routine service.
- Look for cracks around the welds
- Check bolt holes for elongation
- Confirm driveline and brake line clearance after installation

Vehicle fitment
M.O.R.E. lists these hangers for the 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler (YJ) in the Base, Islander, Laredo, Renegade, Rio Grande, S, SE, Sahara and Sport trims.
They fit the YJ only, not the TJ or other Jeep models, and they are front hangers only. Make sure the year, model and trim match before you order.
Installation notes
Spring hangers carry the suspension load, so professional installation is strongly recommended. Keep the axle supported on jack stands rated for the vehicle’s weight while the old hangers are removed. Use the hardware the instructions specify and tighten it to the torque they give. Inspect the hanger bolts again after the first few miles. Have the alignment and pinion angle checked after the hangers are fitted, and confirm brake line and driveshaft clearance through the travel range. Check local rules on lift height before changing the spring position.
What’s included
The front pair of spring hangers is the main item in the package. Look over the package contents before starting, including any hardware and bushings.
