Gyger, did I understand right that you do not have any weight on the springs in that picture, that the truck is being supported by the frame? My stock shackles looked the same when I first installed the springs. When I put the tires on and let the truck down they sat straight up and down just like my extended shackles do. The spring will push them back when you compress it.

OOPS!!!!
In my hurried state of caffeinated jittery-goodness, I overlooked the fact that Ivan brought up. Yeah, he's right. I guess my only excuse is that I'm so used to looking at my truck that doesn't require the wheels or weight to be off of the truck to get a picture like that (so open and clear).
Disregard my last post..it's garbage.

yeah sorry I forgot to mention that the truck has no axle under it in that picture hooked it up and dropped it down and my shackle is pointed straight at the ground now.
Thanks for all that info though Cody!

thats how those lift springs from skyjcker are, every set i have layed eyes on, if you call skyjacker and complain, thy will just tell you its normal.
they ride stiff as crap, and dont flex all that well.
i was going to suggest moving the front hangers back, but that will move your tires closer to the body mounts nd youl run the risk of them rubbing
i would just run them for now
