I think the hd springs will come down a little more but I probably won't notice it.

I don't know if the marlin hanger is the same as the trail gear hanger, I assume they are very similar, but I think i would still flush it up in the front, and maybe look into sliding the frame tube jigs as far forward as you can get them instead of centering them, to get a little more shackle angle.

If it would help I could measure the distance from the center of the front hanger bolt to the center of the frame tube jig, this way it would not matter if the hangers were the same or not. Just a thought.
