Just installed one of the rear springs today...54" long Alcan rear 2.5" lift (from blk87K5's truck)
First of all I gotta say that extra 2.5" is looking awefully huge at this point. Maybe it'll look less monster truckish once all four corners are done.
My question is what was the 'recomended' shackle flip orientation and shackle length for these springs? I currently have the factory hanger (homebrew flip) and a 6" shackle. Right now I'm really hating the shackle angle and don't feel i have enough swing even with the 6" shackle. The shackle is vertical now. To get the shackle where I want it angle wise I feel i need to move the hanger another 2" forward. However doing this will prevent the spring from being able to flatten out to it's 54" length...
Was the recipe an ORD shackle flip bolted up left bracket on right side of truck and vice versy(reversed)?
