OME anti Inversion install issue!! (1 Viewer)

[mattressking]

Need some help, having trouble installing rear leaf springs on my 60.

Running OME CS017RA on left and right.

Anti inversion shackles don't seem to fit correctly. Any tips? It almost seems the leaf springs are too short. The arrow on leaf is facing the fixed end.

I've tried running the shackles a couple ways but none of the seem to work correctly. Any input?

My shackles look the same right now and I just installed new springs. I believe once you have weight on the rear axle the springs will be compressed and "stretch out" pushing the shackles to the correct orientation.

Shackles installed wrong way. Turn them other way around so the anti-inversion pins are located inwards and closer to frame.

Yup.

We had it the 'correct' way but the shackle mount on frame blocks the anti inversion rod completely.

Yup.

Which part is yup? Haha

Installed wrong ... Trying to find a pic, now.....

The spring and hanger on the long side... I think you also may have them reversed left/right?

Thanks spike strip/all! Had to move the shackle out and got it situated! I'll post up some pics in the daylight.

Did you figure what was happening here? I'm having the same problem.

Yea OME springs are too short lol. Just pop them back with a prybar.

You’ll want anti inversion if you take it off road much

Vehicle weight has got to be pushing down on the springs for them to flex and flatten out

That's a pretty thick camber correction wedge. How did that map out at alignment?
