If someone wants to post some pics for me I can e-mail them.
Got pics of both the front and rear shackle angles just a couple weeks ago. Rear is at about 45* and the front about 37*.

it's relative..

if ya got a ton of arch you need little angle, and if you have NO arch you can put em at nearly parallel. I measure the spring along the arc and subtract the shackle length and then add a couple inches depending on the setup

With what you are saying for example:
spring length - 54" eye to eye
shackle length - 5" eye to eye

I'd mount the front sping mount at approx 49":confused:
