Both sides are the same. I heard the swap sides when flipping hangers story but it just isn't how it works.
One thing I ran into on our 71; I was installing new leafs with the later, large spring eye and the spring eye just touched the body with the stock hangers flipped over. I could have hammered on it but I went with aftermarket hangers instead and used the center hole. The height is right where I want it.

i got it done a while back but haven't had time to post. i love where it sits and the pinion angle seems to be ok too. i didn't flip the shackles from side to side as they are identical. i just used some uni-bits and made the holes a little bigger. it wasn't all that bad and it was free! can't complain there. thanks for all the help everyone.

That looks lean and mean, low and not too slow. 8)
