Well, when it warmed up today I went out and put the coil spring back and let it sit on it’s own weight. There was still about a 2” drop between the frame and the bracket, and the pinion angle looked way off.
Then I got to looking and thinking that if I used the right on the left, and left on the right, they might have better angles. So I measured one and saw that the “centerline” of the rear bushing compared to the front that bolts to the axle beams is much lower than makes sense. I laid one out and used a square to see that, when used right-side-up, the rear busing is about 4” lower than If I were to flip it over.
