Not sure what you mean. Are you talking about having the shackles set so that the leaf spring is sort of "in-line" with the shackle? ie instead of this _| it is more like this _/

Thanks for the reply, yup right now I have my front shackles in-line | not even 10 degree of angle, straight from up to bottom, people told me it could be shocks issues, changed the shocks but still bouncing!

Do you have any pics? I think I know what you mean, and I would say the solution is to move the shackle hanger back (towards the axle) so that you have mroe of an angle.

Here is the pic, it looks a little bit backwards, but I think is was the angle I shoot the photo, but looks straight.

It looks close to right to me. Depends on spring length too. But if you're bouncing, than it is probably too steep (spring isn't compressing right).

I use rs5000s and similar angle no bouncing though. What springs are you using? They must be too stiff. Try removing a few leafs.

They are waggy front spring leafs, it normally came with a 5 leaf pack, but I arched them and added a big reinforcement leaf an another nissan patrol leaf on the middle, makes a total of 7 leafs, ummm... sounds like its the problem, im gonna try removing those two additional leafs to see how it works. thanks!

I am not an expert, but what they say makes sense. Your shackle angle looks OK to me. Let us know how it works with fewer leafs.

I was using the waggy 7leaf heavy duty pack. But they where a little soft so I added 3 Nissan rear trucks leafs and removed 3 waggy. Still 7 leafs total. Ride is very nice now.
