Sweet! Keep the pics coming. It's looking good.
Edit: I see you posted as I was writing this.
For shackle angle you just had the hanger placed so it was pretty much vertical without weight on the car and once it's on it's own it goes to where it should be right? Or was it a little more involved for finding the placement of the hanger.

It was pretty much that. We knew these springs would become nearly flat, but not as flat as they are now!
I think if I get new springs under there the shackle angle will be a little better.

4" exactly. Just measured off the Mountaineer.
I have the option to bring it back another 1" or so.

My front driveshaft was too short as it was. Since I had the AA adapter, it moved everything 5" backwards. Plus, because of that I will have to build a new transmission crossmember to go above the d-shaft before I would even bolt something in.
Don't mind the freaky pic. It was a 4 second exposure.
