That doesn't seem right to me considering the shape of the shackles.

Sounds back-ass-wards tome

nope you want the crook of the shackle facing toward the rear core support.

Bolt one in without the leaf and swing it through its range of motion. you will see how it hits on the rear core support worse one way than the other

[bluejeepkid]

nope, thats right. the angle of the shackle is there to clear the rear crossmember

JKS' directions are correct. Those are "boomerang" shackles and the slight "V" notch in the back allows for a bit more movement backwards in the shackle box when the leaf packs compress. :thumbup:

X2 thats the way they go! looks backwards but it's right!

It had me scratching my head when I went to install them as well. However, that is the correct way to mount them.
