What This Kit Is
PN-3-C-002-BK is a hanger-and-flap kit, sold as a pair to cover both sides of the truck or trailer. The arm is heavy-gauge formed steel bent to 45 degrees, finished in black, with a 30-inch working length measured along the arm. Bolt spacing at the frame end is 1-1/8 inch, which is the common pattern on universal tractor and trailer mounting brackets.
The pivot is spring-loaded. That matters more than the steel gauge on most trucks. When a flap catches a dock plate, a snowbank, or a tight backing angle, the spring lets the arm swing and return instead of taking the load straight into the bend. Rigid hangers are the ones you find folded up under the frame rail.
Mounting is bolt-on through existing frame or bracket holes. No welding, no drilling if your holes are already on 1-1/8 inch centers, and the job is fully reversible. Standard hand tools handle it. The kit works with the supplied flap or with aftermarket flaps you already stock, provided the flap's top bolt pattern matches the arm.
Why 02224LLR Crosses Here
Mud flap hangers cross on geometry, not on branding. Four things have to line up: arm length, bend angle, frame-end bolt spacing, and pivot type. PN-3-C-002-BK and 02224LLR share all four — 30-inch arm, 45-degree bend, 1-1/8 inch spacing, sprung pivot. Same form, same function, same mounting footprint.
That is the whole basis of the cross. There is no electronics, no calibration, no serialised component in a mud flap hanger, so once the mounting dimensions and the arm profile match, the parts do the same job in the same place. This is why a single hanger number covers a wide spread of tractor and trailer applications rather than being tied to one chassis.
Cross-reference is a starting point, not a fitment promise. Before you order, measure the bolt spacing on the old hanger and check the arm length and bend angle against what is coming off the truck. Confirm against the number stamped or tagged on the existing part, or against your VIN and build sheet if the hanger was fitted at the factory.
How These Fail
Three failure modes account for most replacements. First, impact damage — the arm gets bent rearward or upward and the flap starts riding the tire. Second, the spring pivot seizes from road salt and brine, so the arm loses its give and the next hit bends it permanently. Third, corrosion at the frame-end bolt holes elongates the holes and the whole assembly starts to sag and rattle.
Check the pivot before you condemn the arm. Swing it by hand. If it moves freely and returns, and the arm is still straight and square to the frame, the hanger is fine and you may only need a flap. If the arm is bent or the pivot is locked solid, replace the hanger — straightening bent steel work-hardens the bend and it fails again in the same spot.
PN-3-C-002-BK Cross-Reference & Interchange Numbers
These manufacturer and aftermarket numbers commonly cross-reference to PN-3-C-002-BK. Use them to identify the part — then confirm the exact fit by VIN or the number stamped on your old unit before you order. An interchange is a starting point, not a fitment guarantee.

Frequently asked questions
Does PN-3-C-002-BK come as a pair or a single hanger?
It is supplied as a kit covering both sides, so one order handles the driver and passenger positions. Check what came off your truck before ordering — some units run a different hanger style side to side if they have been repaired piecemeal over the years.
How do I confirm the 1-1/8 inch spacing on my truck?
Measure center-to-center between the two mounting holes at the frame end of the old hanger, not the flap end. If that measurement is 1-1/8 inch and the arm is 30 inches at a 45-degree bend, the geometry matches. If your bracket uses a different pattern, this kit will not bolt up without modification.
Will this work with the mud flaps I already have?
It works with stock or aftermarket flaps as long as the flap's top bolt pattern matches the hanger arm. Lay the old flap against the new arm and check the holes line up before you hang it. The kit includes flaps if you would rather replace both at once.
