hey guys,
I am relocating my springs i want to move my rearend back one inch and i was going to use the existing hole just in front of the ones for the old hanger (the hole that bil says to use in the spring relo tech article) problem is im worried that my shackles will be on way too much of an angle....is this okay? is there another way to do this? what did you guys who inboarded your springs and moved your rear back 1" do?

sweet man! i just checked them out and they are a great help! kinda what i had in mind already, but i wanted to see what others had done to make it work... also, what did you do for shocks? i measured and it seems like they will hit unless i get longer shock bolts or something....  |

When I had the Mopar inboard spring relocation kit installed , I moved it back 1 " , And I went with sliders on the rear . Car is still being worked on......... Hopefully next year it will be ready  Donnie 68 'Cuda 505 |

Hey Matt,
When I had my rear moved back an inch (I already had the springs moved into the frame rails), I left the rear shackles in the same hole you are referring to. No ill effects what so ever. But different springs might have some effect on shackle angle. You can try it, and redo the rear mounts later if you're not happy with them.
