We're at 13" from bolt center to bolt center. The upper mount is located above the frame. We're using 62" deaver leaf springs and the axle currently cycles 21". Since it's located above the frame we arent able to cross brace the shackle in the center to give it side to side strength or it will hit the frame, so I've tried to brace each shackle and also have a plate connecting the two only on one side. The side that wont hit the frame when the shackle is at full compression.Any input would be great, really the best thing is to try it and see what happens probably.-ScottI wish a had a CAD program so I could do some 3D stuff, but I dont. It looks much better in my head than on paper.</blockquote>
