It would if i had relocated my springs like he did, I however feel Hotchkis' targeting market is the bolt-on mechanic...I see myself as in between these two extremes, and had relied on Hotchkis' engineers to design something that has proper suspension geometries once installed. When its application specific like '67-76 A-body leaf springs' i assume most of the research has already been done. But as has been proven time and time again-never ***-u-me anything

You don't have a bolt on car. You've fabricated yourself a lot of modifications to it allready.

You are running a modified/cut down? Dana back there. What is your pinion angle on that Dana? Where the perched welded on with the right pinion angle.
You have aftermarket rear shackles. Are they stock height?
You are running a T56 trans with a homemade trans mount. The engine and trans may be angled up or down from stock position
You have a solid motor mount. The engine and trans may be angled up or down from stock position

I noticed the relief on the stock shackles, so lets assume that will give me some clearance at static ride height. The stock hanger will move the height up an inch, maybe give me more clearance, but i can almost guarantee that any slight bump i hit on the road and the shackles will be slapping the subframe hard.

The rear shackles are perferred to angle back a little. No matter what leaf springs you have on there. It's ok to have them angled foward. but angled back is perferred. I think that is stated in the Super Stock spring instructions. No sure. But it is stated in the Mopar Peformance Chassis Manual.
