I have a 1971 Blazer and I'm curious if your custom leaf springs already take into account the rear shackle flip pushing the rear axle forward about 1.5" ( commen problem on first gens) or is that some thing I need to address when ordering them and have the center pin location moved back? Also are the front springs a bit longer towards the rear to address the fact that most lift springs have the shackle straight up and down and not pointed back closer to 45* angle?
 
Our custom leaves are build for you the way you want them, so if you want us to offset the center pin to push the axle back to the stock location, we definitely can. Just one of the questions we'd ask when you call to order them.

Yes, we do build our springs longer than stock and it will put some angle on the front shackle.
 
Yeah that's what I figured, I had heard that your leafs already adjusted the length to compensate for the bad shackle angles in the front. Just want to make sure of a few things before calling cause I'm trying to get the ride height and shackles already figured out using stock style lift 4" leafs in the front and 56" springs in the back with offset zero rates and flipped shackle flips( side to side to)
