Got my 14 bolt underneath the blazer yesterday. I’m running 56” springs in the rear and using an ORD shackle flip kit. In my laziness I tried mounting the brackets backwards to see how the shackle angle looked vs drilling new holes. By flipping the brackets side to side i figured its not that far off from moving them back 4” on the correct side. I know there’s many variables that go into shackle angle just wondering what anyone’s thoughts were on this.

I’m no suspension expert but it looks ok to me. I’m running 56’s w/ ORD 2.5” shackle flips (swap sides like you) and my shackle angle is similar. My set up hasn’t shown any issues and works well.
