Thanks for checking!

My bad for installing them the same way as the stock shackles, nothing major coming up but I will be correcting them ASAP.

When you switch them, just compare the range of motion for the stock vs the Camburg by holding them in position and rotate until they contact the leaf. I never used the springs hard with the Camburg’s on because I had them on backwards as well, but when I flipped them ROM seemed even worse? Went back to stock shackles.

Interesting!

I went out lifted the back end via jack and hitch and they are not binding and the ROM looks fine. Guessing lose a little droop with them mounted this way. I was more worried about the additional weight of the deavers on the stock shackles more than anything.

I will grab the stock shackles and have a look.

Is this an optical illusion? #brettmess24 image shows wider side up which is what the diagram shows. I don't get it.

Like Huck said they need to be rotated 180 degrees, they cannot be installed upside down.

Too bad I have to remove the entire spring to correct.

No you should be able to just let the spring go up towards the bed and then get the shackle out and spin it.
