I'm trying to install E-body SS springs on my '70 Barracuda (P3690460, 461). Thay are the 3600# versions. I have the extended, offset front hangers and the offset shackles.
How do you get the shackle in? Everything looks too short (see pic). I know these springs have much more arch than the stockers. Also know that the bottom of the shackle should be behind the top. Is there a trick to installing these? Or is something wrong with this set-up? I can get the left side together (barely), but no way on the right side (pictured).
