Just installed my lift, it was shackles in the rear before the lift my leafs were flat with a little arc now with the shackles they are wrapping around the other way, should I make a mini bastard pack to correct it or what it anyone else's opinions?

define "wrapping the other way". your shackles should be at a 45* angle...

like if you are looking at shackle on the drivers side, it should be like this \.

The leafs are now at a neg arch... So it's a matter of old worn out leafs, huh? Well, AAL's are pretty common and cheap, but, like the bastard pack route, will lead to a harsher ride. If you can afford it, just get new leafs...

My problem with new leafs is the front bolt on the leaf is stripped into the unibody, so I'm kinda screwed there, I'm not too worried with the ride and my shackles are angled correctly maybe just a little too steep but not too bad

My front bolt broke off the nut inside the frame, I just cut into the pocket right below the hole, with a angle grinder. Big enough to slip a wrench into the pocket, and take it all the way out.
