I am going to be installing 52" and 56" springs in my k5. normally people run 7.25 shackles in the front with 52's right? what about the rear with 56's the same? or a six?
 
I don't think it matters that much

I have 6" on my 52's
 
normally she'll be happy with a 6" but some like to give the 7.25" to her....funny yet helpful,all in one:rolleyes::D
 
I use a Ford 2000 4x4 F-150 spring in the back which measures 58 1/2". I started with six inch shackle and just switched to a seven and it put my angle right at 45 degrees.
