42 inches exactly. I clamped my tape measure on the front hanger with a pair of visegrips and used a center punch to mark it. I may have gotten the rear holes too high in the frame. They are 1.5 inches up. My springs are flat and that may contribute to the small gap and shackle angle.
A question for you guys... Anything wrong with making my own longer shackles out of some 1/4 inch flat stock (or 3/8) and some bolts? Should I weld the bolts to one side like the factory shackles? I was thinking I'd add an inch to the stock 2 3/4 inch shackle. My rear shackles are made like this, but they seem less important than the fronts.
