ANY one got upclose pictures and a tech to mount the shackles to the rear end??

I got a 40 rear spring that i want to mount about 4 inches under the the 12 bolt. Any one got a good safe way to do this...


thanks steve

I cheated..........when assembling my last lakes modified, I used a model A spring and installed only the main leaf on the car, then installed the rest of the leaves with a long spring-center bolt and cut it to length after tightening the nut down........worked most excellent.

For the fact that My spring must be lower than the housing ill have to fab up a Bracket myself..
Still need some Good Shackels..
