With dropped hanger, use 100x50x3mm RHS box section. You could try to salvage your old hangers but there not expensive to buy. I'd advice that you brace them back along the chassis rails.

Excuse the very lame diagram picture this as a side view.
The parralel lines are the chassis, the box is the hangers and the diagonal bar at 45 degrees is a brace. I'll try and get pics soon

just buy the 5o mm dropped hangers and weld them onn where you cut the old ones off.
