Just so we're all clear, stock non-Scout Light Lines have a tension style
rear shackle, with the possible exception of some of the big
stuff(13XX/15XX) that had the forged/bronze bushed shackles.

No need to swap side to side, the bits are symmetrical. Possible
complication depending on the particular rig(pretty wide variation):
flipping the shackle bracket on the existing holes may result in a shackle
position that will allow shackle inversion with suspension droop. Just
something to be aware of, along with the change in pinion angle(roughly
5deg.)
