Default shackles bad?

Ok, I've been searching but cant really seem to find the info I need. I put in new leaf packs and adjustable shackles and I'm not really liking the shackle angle, ( almost straight up and down and shackles are fully extended ) will this wreck my new leafs? Also if I get shackle relocation brackets to correct the angle will this now mess up my pinion angle? I geuss what I'm asking is should I bother correcting the shackle angle or am I wasting my time? Thanks for the input.

Sorry but not sure what your asking. I've got the iron man adjustable shackles if that helps.

Sounds like the leaf packs are too short for the length of the shackle. Relos will help some.
