I guess the lengths measure up.
Do you have some weight you can place over the axle to see what it does?

Anyone, he needs these straight up and down at minimum and not forward as the picture, correct?

Looks like he's got a ways to go...................

They should always angle towards the rear NEVER foreword or even straight up and down. Now would be a good time to install sliders and never mess w/this stuff again.........:coffee2:

I think the shim is the next thing to try,I have tryed to jack it over and over that is as far back as i could get it.Bummer have to pull everything apart.Do they make the shim,or do I have to make them,if how, how thick 2'' 3'' 1/2''.

Your shim thickness will be dictated by your new springs. No-one except you will know as I would each car will vary somewhat.
Are new springs same as old? What make are the new?

Use a mitt full of washers temporarily to get a measurement. Then cut shims to length
