for everybody that is using offset shackles

It actually doesn't depend on what kit you use. While the MP kit claims to move the springs 3/4", if you actually measure the front hanger the difference is only 1/2" from stock.

I have a MP set on my Duster, and I measured it and compared it to the stock hanger when I read Dr. Diff's comment that the MP kit only had a 1/2" offset, just like his. There's only a 1/2" to the frame to move the front hanger. And because of the recessed bolts Dr. Diff uses, you don't have to cut a hole in the frame like you do to clear the front eye bolt like you do for the MP kit. I wish I'd known THAT before I installed the MP kit in my car.

You can put the perches in 3/4", and it will get you a little extra space, but it also puts a side load on the springs. I installed my MP kit with the perches at 42" C-C, so the springs are in line with no side loading.



No, the front hanger is offset as well, 1/2" inboard so the hanger is against the frame.
What's your opine on shimming the front hangars,as per the Mopar chassis book(per drag strip specs,not road racing) Just curious,on your thoughts,72 (002/003 springs...)
