Just purchased and installed a set of lift springs and shackles on a mall crawler I am prepping for my daughter. 7" lift springs and 6" long shackles. Spring along the arch is 48.5" and eye to eye at frame is stock 47" or so. Looking for advise. Vendor is telling me this is fine and normal for lift springs. I dont buy it as I have used other less reputable lift springs and they were not so short as to invert my shackles the wrong direction. I have about a 9 degree angle the wrong direction. The vendor advertised these springs to be optimised for each vehicle, unless this is something new I would think 9 degrees back would be much better. What do the experts say. Yes I have posted this question on another squarebody specific site. All my searches aside from taking various measurements to obtain a specific angle and adjusting it with shackle angle have led me to believe this condition cannot be corrected with shackle length. I think I know the answer just want a few more opinions. Thanks!!
