full size dodge van main leaf spring to improve shackle angle?
I am looking to improve my shackle angle and I thought I read somewhere a while ago that a full size dodge van main leaf spring is the same length as an xj from the front to the pin but an inch or so longer from the pin to the rear.
I tried to search here and on Google but couldn't find anything just wanted to know if anybody else has heard of this?
I know about shackle relocation boxes but I wanna try this first
Thanks

Short answer yes it will fix the angle, the problem is it will hit the well the shackle site in leaving you no suspension travel one way..
