leaf spring shackles

Hi can anyone explain to me why my right side rear shackle is against my truck floor extension? These are ss springs.

becasue when you installed them you probably didn't adjust the shackle angle so when you were driving, or launched the car lifted and instead of going back the shackle came forward...

lift the car up and put jack stands under the rear sub frame... lower the car and then using a pry bar push the shackle back as you lift the rear end...

yea when i installed my SS springs the shackles were vertical which is no good just for the reason you have!
