this is from the installation instructions spaceing is right on the shackle tubes but its mounted to far forward. what i figure the problem is is the mount gets mounted right were the frame gets wider and with mounting it were they did it the shackle angle is wrong and it hits the frame if they mounted it correctly the angle would be right and it wont hit the frame. but not only the shackle angle is wrong but they mounted the hanger back to far alsoit is supose to be set out 3/4'' from the front of the frame and it is actually set in1/4''. so looks like i will be changing both.Frame Tubes and Jigs To mount the front shackles, tubes are installed in to the frame. Jigs are provided to properly position the tubes in the frame. Each jig is labeled with an arrow and "R" or "L". The jig labeled R is for the Right side (passenger) and the jig labeled L is for the Left side (driver). The arrow points toward the front of the truck.Place the frame jig onto the frame and center the jig in the body mount under the firewall. Mark or scribe both the inside and outside of the frame rails. Using a plasma cutter or torch, cut the holes through the frame. The jigs can also be tacked into place and used as a guide during cutting. Slide each frame tube into the frame. Center the frame tube in its hole. After centering the tube, push the tube toward the outside of the frame 1/4". Now weld the frame tube in place. Now do the other frame tube, centering it up and then pushing it out 1/4" before welding in place. Weld both the inside and outside of the frame around the shackle tube.
