Leaf spring theory question

View attachment 1715714381

There is an acceptable angle for the rear shackles , moving the rear end back , could throw that angle to far back , depends on how it is now .
Too far back and the shackle can lock in a rearward flat position when the spring flattens out on launch , or in the forward position when the car is jacked up while in the air. We used to have to take a breaker bar of some sort to snap the shackles back into position on this ------
but, we ran 002-003 springs on it , the wheels farther back because the front half is shorter----had to shorten the drive shaft ----------
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
big correction , ''my bad'' , the rear wheels were farther forward , 2'' , compared to stock B body springs /put more weight on the rear of the car.
Dont know what the hell I was thinking !!
