Into a next phase of a rework project, Project link While waiting for some perches to arrive, I've started mocking up my SOA to see where things may or may not line up. I've removed the front hangers from the previous shackle reversal and am considering keeping the rear ones in place. With some stock springs attached under the axle and the original brackets in place, I've got about 42-3/8 between the spring eyes. The brackets hang off the front edge about 1-1/2. Shackle angle seems good. Anyone see any problem with building out the frame to support the original bracket in this location?
And what is the reasoning for moving the shackle mount into the frame rail I've seen on some SOA shackle reversals?
(Yes, I know brackets are on the wrong sides, easier to deal with right now)
