Plus my rear springs should be 1" higher than standard but they have gone to standard hieght naw and the truck is leaning back aswell lol
if i see correct you are running reverse shackles thas why you are higher front (i think), just
get a higher rear shackles they are ok for the back
i have a set of Rope Ratchets and i will tie town the passenger side axles to the shassis until the bumpstop and leave it for a week will se what will happen

Personally with standard sj suspension I would not fit shackle that are more than 30mm longer than stock so 100mm between hole centres. will lift a whole 15mm

my front shackles turned out to be exactly 100mm between hole centers...
with the 2" springs I can feel that the steering is a little different because of it, but its not bad...
nothing like when i had 3" lift shackles on the front haha

Yeah the 'boomerang' shackles in the bottom right of your photo should be on the rear springs, I have this lift kit on mine, but mine has the +1.5" calmini leafs too, although I get gangsta lean, when I'm back on the road I'm going to buy a few bags of sand equivilant to my wright and put them in the passenger side, footwells, to try and get it to settle more level
but people say when driving down the road that it is leaning to the driver side quite a bit
and leave it for a week will se what will happen
