I just bought an 86 toy sas with 63 inch springs in the rear. I noticed the shackle angles on the rear were different so I checked the angle and the right side was 40 deg. and the left side was almost 50 deg. so I started measuring and saw that the spring hangers are a half inch off from each other welded to the frame. approx. 14 inch's from stock location on the left side and 14.5 on the right. also the shackle mounts are welded a half inch off from each other too. Now this is my first chevy Toyota spring experience my question is if a person was going to weld new shackles and spring hangers wouldn't you want to weld them in the same exact spot on both sides?
Also 14 inch's is a little far from the stock spring hangers isn't it? or is it possible theat maybe the spring packs them selves are different in length and maybe who ever welded the hangers and shackle mounts on thought they could compensate the difference by welding them a half inch off on the frame.?
Please help me here I am at a loss....
