crooked shackle

I installed shackle relocation brackets yesterday and noticed that after I lowered the jeep and tightened all the bolts, my passenger side shackle was crooked. You can see from the pics that the driver side is straight. Also it seems that the passenger side leaf pack is a little twisted.

Does anyone have experience with fixing this problem? Is it alright to drive it around like this?

Sorry about the gigantic pics, not sure how to make them smaller

I'd run it. Your front bushings are probably worn out letting the leaf springs shift a little. Mine do a lot and have been that way for a while. Like one tires sticks out a measurable amount more than the other. Still drives 65 on the highway no problem.

Leaf springs twist a lot while flexing. Next time your leafs are flexing get out and take a look at how much they twist.
