You will need to move the front spring mount forward on the the rears to accomodate the longer flatter springs. You will need to move the rear spring mount back on the front to accomodate the longer rear springs. I believe you will need High steer to do the rears to the front since it will move your front axle forward and the push pull will not line up. Double shackles are easy to do, buy a set. For the front just measure the rear from mount to mount and duplicate it on the front, for the rears I believe you will be moving the front mount just after the frame drops down, the double shackles will also have to be looked at and you'll have to increase that distance to accomodate for the part of the shackle that lays flat against the frame. A flat bumpstop will be needed between the frame and that shackle. On my Sammi I made a rear and front bumpers that were designed to collect the flat part of the double shackle so I didn't need to move my spring mounts on the middle of the frame. That actually gave me 2 extra inches of wheelbase, and a Sammi needs as much help as you can give it in the wb department.
