I'm going to grind them into points to catch dinner on the trail...
Nah, they'll be rounded off this week and I may stick some plate on the bottom/front to cover part of the spring eye. The circle was a template to drill the bolt holes.
Here's the shackle angle with weight on it:
The wheelbase is about the same; I was hoping for a little longer but what can you do. How bad would it be if I redrilled the spring perch holes another inch forward or drilled the springs themselves? I may move the front axle up later on if this doesn't work out too well. Starting to wish this was a longbed frame...
