I dropped the front hangers over an 1" and then made the rear shackles just long enough to keep the spring eye from hitting the frame, about 6". I ended up with a caster angle of about 8*. I relocated the frame hanger forward like jek's swap article in the tech section.

You should move the rear hanger, the better shackle angle are where much of the flex and improved ride quality come from.

There is a writeup here.
