improving shackle angle

[tommybj73]

Hey guys

Just looking for some advice on longer springs for the rear of my bj73

I have ironman 2 inch lifted springs which are really nice but are not very long,
When I put extended shackles in the shackle angle was Dam near vertical and I have almost no down travel

I sorted out the fronts tonight by replacing the top 2 leafs from the ironman pack with the top 3 leafs from the rear stock springs which has worked really well

Just wondering what everybody else had done to improve the rear shackle angle without moving there mounts?
Ideally I would like to find some stock rear springs that are longer and mix them into my pack

The first photo is one front spring done.....much better angle

The 2nd is the rear which I'm a little bit stumped on
