How did you get the nuts onto the bolt? Admittedly I didn't look/feel around the best that I could've, but the frame seems to be an enclosed channel at the point of attachment. Also, to ensure that we're comparing apples to apples, mine is an '84, and I think they changed the hangers for '85+(?).

Sorry I'm joining this party nearly 13 years late, but I was just installing a Dobinsons lift in my '84 FJ60 and found that my front-left leaf spring's rear hanger is loose. (See photo below.) I'm no auto mechanic, but from (1) looking at my wiggly hanger and (2) perusing this and other similar...
