Where to mount shock tabs?

[Chevy350Ben]

Alright. Truck is fully supported under it's own weight front and rear. This is the angle I'm getting right now. Let me know what you guys think. If it's a problem, I can call ORD...

I would call ORD or email that pic to them. It definitely looks like you have the shackle flip in the correct location. Only thing I can think of is the springs are not 52s? Have you measured them?

I don't seem to find it looking back quickly. Are those your original springs?
I see that the fronts are new.

I would run it around and see how things go. They may settle down a little even.
Here's mine with stock springs and ORD flip. And a little stuff inside, 1/4" walls in the tube bumper, plus a full tank.
Don't judge the shackles, I made them because I did remember to order them from ORD.

They are not 52s. Standard length springs. When I ordered everything, i called ORD and had them spec it all out for me to make sure everything jived well.

Yeah, the letter from ORD that came with the springs said they will "settle" after running them for a while.

 

[Chevy350Ben]

Sorry, forgot to mention, they are not OEM springs. Custom springs all around from ORD.

I saw the stickers on the fronts, and figured that they were stock length, just wasn't sure on the rears.
Yeah, drive it! You haven't hit the actual ride height yet.

 

[Chevy350Ben]

Man, I cant wait to drive it! Still collecting parts to rebuild the axles. And I need to sort out some details before I weld everything in place.

Hopefully before the end of the year.

I would still flip that shackle around though.

 

[Chevy350Ben]

Yep. I did that. If you look at the last photo I posted, the "backbone" of the shackle is facing the rear now.

Thanks for the help guys!!
