I put my new SS springs on today and the drivers side has the shackle angled slightly back like it's supposed to but the passenger side spring has the shackle angled slightly forward . Is there a special bracket or a spacer block available to correct this ? it's not a lot of angle but I really don't know how much angle you can survive without risking a bind up .
 
Put a floor jack under the passenger side axle tube (close to the wheel), jack it up and see if you can get it to flip the other way.

May take a combination of jacking the body and the axle.

My guess is that you had things hanging when you installed the springs and that's just the way it went when lowered.

I would try to get it to flip the other way on it's own before going with something like spacers behind the rear shackle mount.
 
I a tually had to wrench the spring up to axle because there was so much difference in the archof the new verses the old, I was working on it in the yard and had the frame blocked high enough for the 003 but just a little low for the 002 lol the 003 swung to the good side when I put thr weight back on it but the 002 is just a couple of degrees forward maybe I'll try a couple of sand bags to settle it down
