Do you mean add a shackel to the front of the spring. Anyway I am going to good about the shackles in the front any more. I believe I might cause more problems then I want and might end up spending more money in the long run if I don't do it right the first time.

no no you can only have a shackle on on side if the spring. the other side you can drop. I dont know of a muck better way of explaining it. basicly you can cut the solid spring mounts off the frame. and weld on hangers that mounts the spring lower. then you can use the longer shackles on the other side of the spring. so your not just lowering one side of the spring your lowering both sides and your pinion and steering angles stay where there suposed to.
what im trying to explain is that by adding longer shackles to droping one end of the spring basicly rotates the entire axle assembly a several degrees. causing bad u-joint angles and steering angles.
