Hello all! Passenger-side rear hanger blasted off my frame yesterday after hauling some flooring, Funnily it happened with no load about 30 mins after hauling the flooring. I've had the truck about a year, 160k on it. I have never loaded more than 900lbs in the bed. Frame is rusted pretty bad around those hanger spots. First question is... is the rust so bad that I cannot reattach a new hanger? Can I put a backer plate for the bolt that will help or a big washer? Two, I'm looking at this kit that comes with everything, but I think the U-bolt size is wrong. It comes with 1/2x2-3/4 and I believe I need 9/16x3-1/4?

Photos of the truck. Daily driver right now, but starting 2018 I'll have a new car and this will be used sparingly to haul stuff around while we're renovating the house.
Thanks a bunch.
