Wanting to correct shackle angle and not sure best route to go. debating on whether or not to try a longer main(90s b series dodge van) or to build a shackle relocation box,

I am running a s10 bastard back "3.5 net " and a 2in shackle.

Would appreciate any opinions

 

i am also running the S-10 bastard pack but without the shackels. is there any way to relocate the upper shackle mounting bolt closer to the rear? i havent looked under mine but just tossing ideas out.

 

i was thinking of moving it forward and down with a bracket to get the 30-45 degree shackle angle

Or using stock location and using longer leaf so the shackle sits in the correct location but still has the correct angle even with the higher arced spring (cant find pic right now)

 

are you hoping for better flex or more lift?

 

flex. with my longer shackles i wont actually gain much, maybe a 1/2 of actual lift. but i will gain 2 inchs of droop. I think.

Right now i am at 5.5. By the time im done (1/2in for shackle box, 5/8s for 8.8, 1in for ubes) i should be around 7.5ish

When i finsh my bumper with swing out carrier, quarter panel guards and tube fenders it should set me down to the 6.5-7ish.

fronts got 6.5 coils

 

edit

Fronts 5.5 right now (4.5 coil with 1inch puck)

6.5 coils are sitting on the tire beggin to go in
