Well I'm kinda frustrated today scratching my head.....
I figured I'd build some bars with the correct spacing for the spring mounts so I can just slap everything together and run. Sounds good right? Ehh.....

Sky said the holes should be 55.5 inches apart. They also said the spring "installed length is 56 inches so the 55.5 gives you some shackle angle". Well my springs are measuring right close to 55" unloaded. A search for x code springs shows the length to be 55.62 from hole to hole, at least that's what I'm reading it as.

I can't rotate the front hanger enough to get the full 55.5 inches of distance, but I don't think I want to after all these measurements. I would think the distance between the eyes of the springs should be the MINIMUM distance between the mounting points so the shackle cannot fold backwards at all. I'm right about 55 inches apart right now and I think I'm going to leave it there instead of fighting it.

The issue I'm having meeting the 55.5 dimension is the drivers side frame horn is bent down just a little bit more than the passenger side so the RSK bracket is bottoming out there. I could beat it into submission but given the measurements I've been getting I think that would be too far apart.
I'm kinda scratching my head but I also think I've made up my mind on how to proceed. Just kinda venting my frustrations right now.
