New shackles

After reading a topic, I do not remember the name, about shackles I remembered that mine were not at the best angle. So, I come to you asking if I need new shackles and which ones should I buy. I was looking at either TnT or RE. I'm leaning more towards RE due to the fact I can get them faster than through TnT. Here are a couple pictures.

In the second picture you can see that my rear springs are sagging a slight bit. Therefore, which size shackles should I get?
 
I take it you are looking for boomerangs? IF not, the rough counrty ones are nice and the ones I think I saw had 2 bolt holes for adjustability.
 
New shackles won't fix your shackle angle.

Very true, you need shackle relocation brackets.

x2 there is a really sweet kit i've seen on here but seem to not have bookmarked... crap. it's an adjustable bolt/weld on kit to relocate the shackle. pretty neat.

I wont say it it again, but just because the issue you are having is not resolved by buying new shackles unless you want an excuse to spend money....

I used the Rough country, and Im happy with it. To be honest the stock shackle is not even that strong,I actaully twisted mine. maybe you have a small twist. have you taken a closer look
