Front spring shackle Q's
#16
The drag link looks pretty level but it does go downhill to the steering knuckle maby an inch but I'm sure the new springs/bushings will settle down some. Before the new springs I think it went uphill a bit, they were really dead.I'm going to take it to the frame/axle alignment shop this week and go from there. If there is a caster problem I'll redo the shackles to the stock length which I would have done if I knew they were longer before I put it back togeather.

Your shackles may be stock for some applications. My dually carcass I purchased for a donor has shackles the same length as yours. This truck came with a 6 in block in the back and a monster rear spring pack. I assumed the longer shackle was for leveling purposes because of all the meat stacked up in the rear, even though it would only make about 1/2' difference in ride height.
