Has anyone moved the rear spring shackle mounts from though the chassis to underneath the chassis.

And is this a good or bad idea ??

its a good idea i did it but have a look at my old build...
the only prob u will have is that u end up spacing rear down 75mm so you will intern have to space your front down the same amount..

i was thinking of doing shackle reversal and spacing it down to the same height.

shackle reversal on the front? or a the leaf spin around for the rear?

yeah if you do the shackle reversal on the front you should think about gettin high steer arms as well as a gq/gu steering box the problem i had was that keeping it still spua your linkage between knuckles will end up binding on the leaves so was looking at gettin 2 high steer arms for both sides and having to attach them
