Shackle flip
Hey guys, I'm getting the sky manufacturing Shackle reversal kit for the D60 front I'm putting in (should be here this week) and have decided to do the shackle flip for the rear axle rather than blocks. I read in an earlier thread somewhere about needing to move the rear shackle forward an inch or so. Is that correct?? Any other considerations for this? I have another chassis that I'm going to steal the front mounts off the rear springs.
Thanks.
Thanks.

The axle moves forward about an inch or so in the wheel well when you do the flip so you would want to move the front mount towards the back of the truck to correct this - enough to get the shackle angle right should put you about the right spot in the wheel well.
