Yes Yes this is another chevy spring swap question.  Please just help me out with this and ther will be no more.  Front spring hangers are going to be welded tomorrow.  I have mounted my sky rear spring hangers 5.5" back instead of the 4".  Should this pose a problem if I still mount the fronts 11" forward (83 model pickup).  Just wondering because I wouldn't mind only moving it 10" and getting a 1" longer footprint.  Thanks for any input.!!

I mounted my front spring hanger 11" eye to eye and my rear shackle hanger is 5" back from stock. My shackle sits at 45* perfect.

I am exactly 5.5" back from stock.  Should do fine.  I am so excited about the insane flex i am going to get.  I now have to measure for the BBCS shocks.  Ready to 4-wheel instead of web wheelin. :driving:
