I never reinforced the hangers but the welding shop told me this happens because of side-to-side flexing when backing up (which I do a lot on pavement). They said they've seen this a lot. They welded on a fabricated steel panel about 6' long to box the frame. I have a post somewhere on this forum with other info.

Just something else to check....
Great pictures Larry, thank you for sharing...my next addition to the inspection checklist.
