On my 92 Toy if I mount a new Bud Built spring hanger 9 inches froward and a new rear hanger 4 inches back will that do the trick for a single shackel on a Chevy spring swap? How long should the single shackle be? Any suggestions for a new rear spring mount?
I have read the Pirate board before but they only deal with the double shackel set up which I do not want. Thanks!

this is 9-3/8 forward and stock rear hanger.

i then made a new hole in the front hanger 10.75" forward and used the stock rear hanger and got a fine shackle angle. the tire may be a little forward but i could care less. it was so easy to do. i am working on getting some pics.

i dont know and havent done it but that would be 13" and the springs are only 12" longer. it seems you would want to only move one end 10" or so. it would end up like pitter's and be easier and you cvan play w/ wheelbase while you are at it.

I did mine with the front moved 11 inches . And I kept the stock back mounts right were there at . I'm useing 10 inch rear shackles . Near amount of lift out of it . Plus the angle is just right .
