s10 full leaf spring????
ok so i bent well all my leaves (cheap AAL did a great job at that) in one rear spring..i happened to have a 97 4x4 s10 zr2 going to junk so i did some measuring i knew you could bastard pack it but my main leaf was tweaked so i threw the whole pair in my jeep..i had to redrill the spring pin/locators and at first glance the bolt to bolt distance measured the same as the xj..but when i put the spring in it flattened out and got a little to long also gave me an extra inch of lift (at about 5.5 in the back) now when i flex my shackle hits my rear body support would a set of boomerangs fix this or when i do my rear bumper build notch the support i kind of like how squishy they are that little bit longer not a huge fan of wierd shackles but if they work they work..

old spring is shaped like a "S" not worth saving..also i like the "lack of $$$$ spent" on the aquired springs, and i really like the added flex of the longer spring, i just want to know if a boomerang shackle would provide clearance on the rear body or if i should just cut a notch and box it in to provide the room?

there really isn't room to go back unless i notch out the rear support..i think that's gonna be the solution . but i don't have to move the hanger.
