Shackle Angle

Shackle Angle

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a follow up to a recent post "Spring relocation problem".
Went by the local Dodge Dealer and spoke to a few friends I have there. They seem to believe there is a problem with my shackle angle. My Shackles are almost totally verticle(no angle). Shouldn't my upper shackle tube position through the frame, be forward of the rear spring eye when the cars weight is applied? If so how much?

according to the mopar chassis book; the rear eye should be directly below or to the rear[slightly] of the shackle pivot in the body. if this isn't the case, move the pivot hole in the body forward.
