Hmmm, weird that your shackle angle is that far back
What was your hub to fender height" and how much space was between the top of the spring and the bump stop? I have the Timbren bumps but they are supposed to be the same size, just firmer.
Panzer, what was yours too.

Yeah not really...im gessing the hanger swing back like that due to the axle being on the bottom...i did installed the rancho leaf spring the 2 different sets I had at the time and both cause the shackle hanger to completely flat on the frame like a bad case of sag neither spring did that when the axle was stock

I bought them on Ebay with a best offer of $175. Model #GMRETB. There are several listed now.

Took the H3 to Deaver this morning and they are making a new main leaf with a reverse eye, that should lower it about an inch he said and they will re-arch the rest of the leafs to lower another 1.5" to 2". He did say the front mount could have been moved forward an inch or more to keep the shackle angle straighter. I will move them forward after Moab. Too much to do in the next few weeks.

Very happy with the SOA. New measurements are 26.25" at the rear and 25.25" in the front center hub to bottom of fender. Very happy with the flex too. Got to really test it out at Moab this week
Here is almost full compression, maybe another 2 inches up.

Here is almost full droop.
