Spring eye question
Ok, it could be the angle and all that shiny paint, the shackle mount bushing centerline on brackets I've measured are around 1 7/16" from the box face. It looks much farther fwd.
in that photo, and from a functional/dynamic stand-point, it is better than close to straight up as mine were. I did not move the springs in, but flipped the frt. hangers and fabbed a
couple of shackle mounts that moved the bushings up 15/16" & forward 3/16", the shackles are tight with the spring jacked up near flat. If I have to, I'll massage/whittle a little
clearance. Yeah, some companies make the main-leaf w/the eyes rolled down under, lifting the leaf the dia. of the eye minus the leaf thickness. At some point, I will be removing
the shackles and putting sliders in, but these will do temporarily.
