Re: ruf help :(
Could probably do with going a little bit further forward or you could just run a slightly longer shackle as that will reduce the angle, you're about on the limit of what you can get away with, without risking flipping the shackle under compression, with an angle like that you will actually maximise the amount of droop you will get.
Are you intending on bracing that mount? It does need to be gusseted as it looks a bit weak as it is.

Re: ruf help :(
do i drill the rear spring eye back an inch??
Re: ruf help :(
I'd say another half inch would be spot on, I've never been sure about redrilling the spring hangers as there's not really a huge amount of material there.

Re: ruf help :(
Both of these really need some gussets in my opinion, they look a bit to weak for something that is supporting the heaviest end of a vehicle that will be used offroad.
I would really advise adding some gussets like these to avoid the risk of them failing or bending.
