        My rear shackles are upside down.  It  raises the rear a bit, but I
kinda
        like the look.  The ride is pretty decent, but my cornering speeds
are down.
        I will change it whenever my piggybank allows me to get comp.
springs and
        decent shocks.




        <<But it did run on Panasports and the rear leaf spring shackle was 
        turned upside down.>> 

        <<What? which way is it supposed to go?  My rear springs are so
sprung that
        they are nearly concave, and I'm sure my picture is posted on the
wall of
        the trench-plate-rental company as Public Enemy #6.  Do the shackles
hold
        the aft end of the leaf spring above the mount or below?  I'd move
it to
        below, to buy a couple inches, but I think cornering would be a bit
like
        watching a slinky walk down stairs.>>
