Stretched it...
So I know this has probably been discussed a thousand times before, but my situation is a little different.
Seeing that I'm stretching my 40, I decided to get OME HD springs for my truck. Now the rear bumper was completly rotted so I fabricated my own and got new rear leaf spring gussets from Cruiser Solution. I have since modified the gussets to remove the flat plate (have to make my own for my custom application).
Now before I weld all of this up, I can adjust the gusset to whatever position I want to get the proper shackle angle.
If I'm not mistaken, the shackle should point towards the rear of the 40. I'm thinking I should install it with the shackle straight up and down and has the truck settles a bit it should push it towards the rear. Any experience/opinions on this would be greatly appreciated as I want to get this setup this evening.
