I flipped the rear axle on my 59' and found it set just a little to low. I made a set of shorter shackles for the rear, about an 1 1/2", I'm using coil over shocks as well. I didn't have to "C" knotch the frame to get it to clear. It sets low enough and I can still haul the Harley with no problems.
