daystar shackles
I know alot of yall have the daystar shackle kits. Im thinking about getting a set just so I can keep my axle block size down. But I have a question. Do they move your spring center forward?

I have a set here at my house that I have never put on. I don't know if I ever will. You could take a look at them, and if you want them at cost you can have them. I could always get another set if necessary.
They would have a similar effect as a slightly tapered block. They lower the rear of the spring by 3". This rotates the entire assembly about the front spring mount. I don't know the exact degrees of rotation, but they would not appreciably change your geometry.
I have my rear suspension drawn up in AutoCAD. If you want the exact degrees of rotation I could come up with it, but not until after my vacation next week. Going to GA for the week.

I have them on my truck too, I did not notice any change as to the relationship between the tire and fender. So if there was, its not much.
