the ball joint and angle is correct because its at full droop . as far as the level rubber goes looks like you didnt re-install the metal support ring that came from the factory .

btw nice alice in chains song ....but why do you have your finger nails painted black ???

Heres at full lock with the full weight on it, the angles aren't near as bad but that spacer makes me nervous.

That's why I'm opting for the steel spacers and not rubber ones. Seen allot of people say they settle after a while.

What size spacer is that? What ever it is it is too big and causing the issue. Are you using OEM spindles or lift spindles? If OEM them get lift spindles and lose the spacers.
