its the wrong spring... he has it in correctly the length is wrong.
the couple inch variant is from a older square i already ran into this problem before.
check my pictures it should show you the correct angle the shackle is in.

That's no lie. Looks to be at least 3 inches to far forward, probably closer to 5 inches. Looks like the front of the tire would be into the side maker light if it wasn't lifted. Not even close to center of the wheel well.

Dude, something way wrong there. Tell the ******** that sold you those springs to stick them up their ass and get them somewhere else. She does look good otherwise!

Are the front spring hangers in the stock location? It was mentioned earlier but maybe the front spring hangera have been moved forward for a 52 spring swap.

Y'all have got to remember he said he ordered these springs with a custom center pin offset.
I'm still betting that if he'll work on unlocking the shackles the spring may lay down both moving the axle back a little and end up with an acceptable shackle angle.

Yea it's just been a busy week end . Yes I did order them with a forward off sett from the center thought it would help the stance a little but kinda makes it look dumb ...but this week ill get out there and take the weight off of the springs and see what's going to happen ..

The shackle angle looks pretty bad right now... I thought the motor was in this thing?
