Larry,
I understand your motivation in redrilling the uprights, but I have to
say I would never even consider doing that. It changes the geometry of
the rear suspension because it moves the upper control element (the
spring) closer to the lower control element (the axle). Without doing
any calculations, I am thinking that can't be good.

Subject: redrilled rear vertical links
I had a machine shop redrill my rear vertical links. One inch lower than
the
original. They charged me 60 bucks, which is less than dearching the
spring,
around here anyway. They made sure to have the new holes parallel and
welded
grade eight washers on the new holes.
I think it may be too low now. Here are some pics.
