My rear hanger rolled forward (reusing what is now the lower rear bolt hole) with 6" shackles.


Side shot showing the axle 2" forward. (I've since changed wheels and cut the wheel openings larger)
So with your setup, you have the spring bolted in the forward most hole on the front hanger, and you axle is 2" forward, with the shackle hanger moved forward, so to retain stock axle position couldn't you move the front of the spring back a couple holes, then leave the rear hanger in the stock position with a longer shackle to keep a decent shackle angle like you've got?
