What do you mean? What I am doing to the front is to fix the caster angle and shackle angle problem I have. It is what you have to do unless you plan on cutting tubes loose and rotating the hog head and welding them back. As far as I know anyways.

This is what another person did to fix the problem. He had bought the B-52 mounts and then come to find out his angles were all wrong so he dropped it down 3" to get his caster at 8deg which is what it is factory.
