Front shackle relocation

[pplblazerdude]

I have run of the mill lift springs as we speak and want to do something to help them out. I have heard that if I move my rear shackle hanger (on the front axle of the truck) forward it will help.

My question is what will I gain from doing this? Also what size shackle will I need to use if I do this? Lastly are there any write ups on this?


Thanks

it very simple to do. you can look up the 52" spring swaps if you need any info. you'll probably use a 7" shackle, or make it long enough to not contact the frame.

you will gain droop, and may even need crossover steering. i have never done it on stock length springs, just with 52's.
