Hotchkis leaf issue, sits like 4x4.

Everything is loose. Still sits the same. I can stand in the trunk or bounce and everything moves, the springs just rebound back to the height shown above.
I sent hotchkis an email through their website a week ago. Haven't heard anything back yet. I'll call tomorrow.

Mine was the same, no reasonable amount of weight or bouncing would reset them. Try using a pry bar to physically move the shackles to the correct angle and see if they stay there. When I did it on mine the shackles actually popped back once I got them started in that direction.

I also had some weight on the springs, I used a jack and stands to lift/support the frame to take some weight off the springs but I needed a little load to get the shackles and suspension assembly to all move smoothly together. Kind of a balancing act where you have some load to get the movement you want but not so much that it cripples you if/when it unloads. There’s probably a better way to do it, but that’s what it took to get mine done.
