You'll be out of thread just tightening them by hand.
Easier to cut another inch or two on each side.
What are you doing about your pinion angle adjustment?

I'm assuming the pinion angle adjustment is built into the brackets already. The last flip kit i installed (1993 Chevy) came with adjustment shims. This one didn't so I'm assuming they're not needed.

Not likely. You'll need to check the pinion angle and get some shims.

I never had issues w/a flip kit + shackles on my 74.
