Help, Close to the end of this project however i am stuck. Shanckle hanger ???

So this is the story. In the front i have 4" skyjackers sua with a shackle reversal and in back i just have 4" skyjackers, also sua. I plan on using extended shackles (about 3" longer then i had) to make up the 1.5" lift the reversal gives however i need to move the shackle hangers forward to allow for a good shakle angle. Anybody have any idea how far forward i need to move them or a good way to figure it out?

thanks:cheers:

Their is a formula to measure the outside cuve of your spring to determine shackle lenght,I put my Old Man Eme shackels straight up and down with no weight,they turned out to be about 35 deg loaded.I ts something you have to play with.
 
i kow its probably not what you want to do but what about putting 2 1/2 inch lift springs up front ? skyjacker use to make a kit for just this purpose. 4 in. springs rear and 2 1/2 up front for poeple doing shackle reversals. just a thought. :cheers:

This is what i had, i had ome 2 1/2" up front however i felt they are very rough riding so i put the soft rides up front. IT did keep it level however
 
ok, well never mind then (LOL) i thought the OME springs were suposed to be one of the better ridding springs out there.
