52" Spring Swap

[bdegs]

Hey Guys,
I have read the tech article on the 52 spring swap but had a quick question. When I move the hanger to the far forward position the 52's line up exactly like my stock leafs did, with the rear shackles slightly forward.

Do I need to move the rear hanger? What do I measure to get the correct rear shackle length? What is the ideal angle of the rear shackles?

Thanks

by not moving th rear hanger and correcting the shackle angle it will not flex properly.
shackle angle is a huge deabate so ill say between 25 and 40 degres.
how long of a shackle are you running and to move it most are just moving it one set of blots so the rear bolts (or rivits) will now be in the front holes so you will need to drill 2 bolt holes and the new center hole.
