recently acquired 65 Dart roller. PO put in the spring relocation kit(on the inside of the rails) & as is the rear shackles are pointing straight down. I believe these are SS springs also. Should I redrill & move the springs rearward to get them pointed rearward & if so how much. thank you for your time.

are thay longer than stock shackles? how is the tire clearance? a 4:00 angle would be good on the shackles to thr rear.
