it looks like you have more flex then what you got, as the shackle is still an angle towards the back.

You are correct. I still have a good 3in left before my shock is full extended also. The pictures of me flexing was before i modified them when the shackles where hitting the back of the bracket

Have not wheeled it yet. Still trying to rework my rear springs. It was $135 delivered to my door IIRC. I sold some junk to fund them.

My original plan was to have multiple hole like that for fine tuning. but under compression the shackle would get stuck in there right where it flares, so i just went with one hole

Did you narrow that or are you going full width?
