    Hey guys I installed ome 2.5 inch leaf pack and day star greasable shackles awhile back and never noticed that my shackle angle is literally hitting the bracket under it's own weight. I don't want to lift the truck anymore. How should I fix this problem? Thanks for all the help in advance

    Well I hope this is helpful to someone reading this. Turns out I had short leaf springs and somewhere down the line a previous owner had bew hangers on the vehicle. Once I got new arb ome leaf springs that were the appropriate length I redid everything and now shackle angle is back to normal!

    I see other things I would be a lot more concerned with. Got any plans to deal with all that rust?

    Yeah in my little build thread you can see I've discovered bad rust and remedied the problem the best I could.
