Thanks Bruce - the reason I ask is I was a concerned about the ride height changing. PTFB has 2 different mounting holes to get a bit more rake, though to me it still needs a bit more rake.

I see that GW sells a longer optional shackle: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/gls-117sh

By “both ends” you’re recommending replacing the front eye bushing as well I assume? It’s not easy to service the front bushing right now either so that would be another benefit of going that route.

JL below thought it was ok to keep my rubber front bushing but sounds like you two aren’t perfectly aligned, which is ok :-)
