Steve.
Maybe I am just stressing... :shock:
It does only have very little down travel when empty, so I think you are right.
I will jack it up, and see if angle changes much, unlikely as they are longer.

Sometimes Ya win.
This time I won twice.

The old holes to locate top shackle point, from a mistake I made when originally fitting the shackle springs,
have turned out to be the perfect position for the new longer shackle, Angle is more pleasing, rides a bit softer, too.
Though that could be cos I am running the bolts a bit looser, this time.

Second win was some wiring I bought by mistake, (5 core instead of 7 core) turned out to be very useful in fixing Xoes reverse lights issues.

So two of my clod mistakes, were obviously intentional cos I can see into the future :mrgreen:
