any other tips on set up. ie shocks,clamps etc
Get some good adjustable shocks.. and most likely you will be un-clamping the rear segments.. depending on the shocks and power

sorry, it is a 72 demon small block 340. so with it being a a-body i can use the standard length shackles?
Yes you can The 1962 and 1963 B and A bodys had a 20 inch front segment on all leaf springs, Mopar decided to lengthen the B bodys in 1964 to 22 front segments, why only the Engineers know Those springs work awesome for drag racing
Not sure, i'll have to check, but my 64 savoy were 21 inch front segments.

The rear bushing on your SS spring require a (7/8 o.d. x 1/2 i.d.) bushing. A-body shackles bolts are .50" shank compared to the B/E which are .5625" or 9/16" shank bolt and use a 1.0" o.d. bushing.
If you are going to use a longer shackle, make sure they accomodate the smaller 7/8" bushing (Moog K7309 or Rabestos 576-3026) found on the SS springs.
Just curious, why or where a longer shackle is required?
Think he was referring to front spring hanger...
