Default shackle help!

putting my shackles on, relized that mine seem really fat where the leaf attaches to the shackles is it right? its not a tight squeeze like the stock one. it like sticks .5-1" away from leaf and there isnt much room for the bolt to get much threads on. did i get the wrong ones? they are chevy drop shackles, autozone brand ones, not beltech.

Sounds like the shackles are meant for wider leafs pat. Can you take them back along with proper measurements?

Nice man! Glad it all worked out! But Don't crank them to much then your ride gets a hard on. it's hard to stop once you start cranking them hahaha
