Hi guys, i have just done a reverse shackle and spring over on a 40 series and the shackles are flat when sitting normal, any ideas how to fix this, are the shackles too far forward or too short.

Thankyou.

longer shackles may work by the looks of it - shorter springs or relocate the shackle hanger would be better

through the frame, build a shackle best fits your set up.

here is the front of my shackle reversal - this is how i bought it with flat springs - worked well for rideability but was not built for flex... I now have arched springs with about 3 inches of lift and the shackle sits on a good angle now.
