Is it critical to have leaf springs parallel? I’m redoing the Saginaw and the shackle reversal installs (previously install by some jackass) and the spring mount and PS gearbox mount want to be in the same place. If I nudge the spring mount about 3/8” to the side (axel does not move forward or backward), the problem is solved. In other words…the front of the springs will be 24 3/8” apart and the rear of the springs will be 24” apart. As far as I can tell the springs were not parallel to begin with and I did not notice any adverse driving characteristics.
Any ideas?
