How to Move Shackles in 3"
Ground out the holes and welded the sleeves in without the USCT brackets. I don't need them. They were more of a guide.
After I took these pictures, (driver's side again) I mocked up the hanger and bushings to see if the bushings and sleeve would "play together well". The sleeve in the first shot fits better than it appears. It's a combination of a shadow and a bevel for welding.
Then, I welded the sleeves in, and touched up the weld with a grinder. :rolleyes:
Be sure your holes are square and parallel, so that the hangers line up with the springs.
