    it is just a huge pita to cut all the welds off the hanger and grind it down and do it again

    .... 58.5" eye-to-eye means a very flat shackle angle with 6" shackles but perfect for down travel and articulation. It's just that the spring rate is gonna suck. That's what I ran on my truck, and it worked well in the rocks.

    Was about 15-20 degree shackle angle with 64" chevies:

    How flat are you shackles, exactly? What do your springs measure eye to eye? (along the curve of the pack) And what do you shackles measure?

    flatter than that believe it or not. but it didnt look that way when we test fit it. the bed added more than i thought and driving on them must have pushed em down a bit. i was dumb i know

    eye to eye now? like on the truck? and the shackles are just regular 6" plates

    Always along the curve, not a straight line unless your springs are flat

    On the truck or off, it won't change the length of the spring along the curve.
