my shackle flip
I have been in the process of installing chevy leaf springs and a shackle flip.
almost done Im just trying to decided on a proper shackle angle. i have searched the heck out of this topic, but figured i would get a few opinions.
any suggestions on the angle?
One other thing... do you think my shackle flip will have adverse effects on towing??

Most I've seen appear to be about 60 degrees with a normal load. Obviously you are fabbing it with no load, but you want to make sure it can't EVER over-center and flip the other way, so it needs to be somewhere around 80 degrees with the axle hanging off it.
I'm assuming you are losing the lift blocks, and if so it will definitely help with towing.
