This is a continuation of the case of the inverted shackles. The previous owner had the rear shackles mounted under the frame mounts instead of on top. So, I flipped them around. It's a case of good news, bad news. The good is that it rides like a Cadillac compared to the filling-rattling ride of before. The bad is that the truck rides way too low in back now. This in spite of the fact that there are about 4 extra leaves in these new leaf springs. And I'm not even carrying a load. No wonder the PO flipped the shackles!!!
Question: Is there any reason why I couldn't fabricate a big spacer block between the leaf springs and the rear axle spring mount if I get some longer u-bolts?
