Even if you don't straighten it out how do you get the u-bolts to work. Mine were at least 2" short. I like a full nut when done. I ended up getting some angle iron at work and going to make some.
As far as the upper's I haven't looked at that yet. I hope the longer angle iron will take care of it.

Flipping the lower brackets from side to side does not effect the length of threads used on the u-bolts unless you add the .250" spacer. I flattened my brackets using a torch to heat them up & a BFH to flatten them out. Once flat, I cleaned them up w/a grinder. Using a HD vise or hyd press could prob be about the same amount of work.

In the stock installed orientation, the lower shock bolt is above the bottom of the trailing arm. After the 'flip' the shock bolt hole is below the trailing arm; but still no lower than the u-bolts.
