ok i got the spring down and the new shackle is bolted on. just the top bolt on the new shackle is on. the bottom one is wont fit bc the bolt hits the frame bc the shackle is shorter. what do i do? i can put the bolt on the other side and it goes through just fine. can i do that? really dont think it matter which side u put the bolt on...

Nothing like doing it yourself to get it all figured out! I did an add-a-leaf and shackles at the same time. Talk about springs that wouldn't line up! lol
