i have no idea what im gonna do lol! i have some 56s i could use these are 47s the angle should be straight to the ground when i get the rear lifted. its sitting pre runner right now but ya i do need longer leafs. the stupid y pipe and x memeber were even closer before i put the massive shackles on it, ill just have to see when i get a drive line in there. www.s10forum.com/forum/f221/project-fat-girls-cant-jump-488629/ heres my project thread for anyone interested

yea longer springs would be good. Speaking from experience and headaches if your front shackles dont go back at quite an angle the tire will flex back into the fender.... My last wheelin trip my buddy just finished his 4runner build and with his shackles like that and a curb would literally flex into the fender trying to jump the curb... We had to move the top of the shackle forward and it fixed it.

heres a teaser. this is how i want it to sit (this is before i switched front springs and the back is jacked up for the picture) update for whoever is watchin these are the other springs im running. the shackle angle SUCKS heres how they sit now after i redrilled the shackle holes now its SOA well the axle is flipped over to see how high it would be before i pay a welder to weld in my spring pads. i think its too high

Why do you say the shackle angle sucked in the first picture? You want to have the shackles to be angled about 20* (I think or around there) backwards so they don't flip forward when flexing.

the second picture there was no weiight on the leaf springs and it was about 45degrees and the last photo has weight on it. when i first built it with my chevy lift springs the shack angle was negative so i threw in my longer ones and redrilled the shackle mount
