I'm been doing a SAS on poowoo's 4runner and I just sold him my skyjacker springs that were on my 90 ex cab.  I knew the front wasn't any problem because they were 85 springs.  the rears are matching 5 inch lift springs and so we bolted them  up and realized that the rear shackle was now hitting the brace for the trailer hitch he has on his rig.  I don't think it will be a problem if I just cut out he brace just big enough that it will clear but I need to know if anyone runs that spring.  I know the factory spring is 48" long and the 90 spring is 51".  The center pin is only 1 inch back from the original spot .  Do I need to at least most the shackle back a little for the shackle angle to work out correctly, or do I just put longer shackles on (which we need to do to bring the rear up level with the front) and cut? :dunno:
