most aftermarket leaf springs are designed to be slightly longer when broken in. new, many arent yet settled and will be a little bit shorter to start. They cant make them too long though or else the stock shackle wont work, and an extended shackle will hit the back of the shackle box. you may need boomerangs.

Ive had a couple pairs of sagged rubicon express leaf springs that were a bit longer, but crap otherwise.

deaver actually reccomends you use a boomerang shackle with their leaf springs to clear the shackle box.
