Re: 52 inch springs

So I'm towards the end of doing the 52"/56" spring swap on my truck. Definitely wasn't fun knocking out all the rivets. The only issues I ran into was having to grind down the lower inner frame rail where the shackle was rubbing, having to make some body mount shims to get the body lined up, and probably going to have to get some pinion angle shims made. I'm using the DIY4X b52 kit, a newish set of 52" rear springs with the bottom thick leaf off, and 6" shackles up front. The rear is a used set of 56" springs, 6" shackles, and ORD shackle flip kit mounted 4" to the rear of the stock position.
