for everybody that is using offset shackles

I give up. It doesn't depend on whose kit you use. There's only ~9/16" from the original front hanger to the frame, as crackedback mentioned. So, you can't move the front hanger 3/4" in unless you put the front hanger inside the frame rail. Since MP's kit doesn't do that, the front hanger only moves about a 1/2" in, certainly less than 9/16" because with the MP kit installed on my car I can tell you the front hanger isn't slammed against the frame rail, there's a small gap.

Put the perches wherever you like, it doesn't mean that's what you'll get for clearance. Maybe you'll get a little more clearance by side loading the spring, but you won't get it everywhere. Somewhere between the perch moving 3/4" and the front hanger only moving a 1/2" you'll get your actual clearance number. And really, it doesn't matter, because moving the perches in a 1/2" puts them in line, or slightly inside of the wheel tubs. So, you'll rub on the wheel tub before you hit the spring anyway.

Do you enjoy banging your head against a brick wall? :)

You CAN get 3/4" offset with the MP kit, BUT, it takes some work that some aren't willing, capable or equipped to do. Out of the box, you aren't getting the advertised 3/4". I've had the MP's and they never gave me the extra 1/4", always 1/2" unless I did the extra work. Ask Dr. Diff, he builds the kits too, 1/2" for the A's.
