It is designed for a spring perch C/L to C/L distance of 62 ½ inch

Looks like you're doing well on your project, just one thing though.

Not to pick nits on you, but sometimes these threads are used for future reference by others. That figure of 62 1/2" for the hangers seems to be a typo. Looking at the way your tires fit to the body and eye-balling the wheel offset, I'd bet your whole rear axle assembly from mounting flange to mounting flange isn't over 57". Could you verify what you ultimately did?

I've got the Posie 29-31 R-C spring and my hangers are 44 3/4" hanger center to hanger center. Sorry I didn't answer your question when you first did the thread, but I was in Vegas and the car is here in Washington.
