Too much or too little shackle angle
I got shackle relocation blocks to fix my shackle angle that was straight up and down. the first whole i tried put me more than 45 at 56 degrees. the next whole back gives me 25 degrees. now i have to choose too much or too little. which would be better to go with.

56 degrees is closer to 90*....how are you measuring this? 90 degrees is a vertical shackle..meaning 56 degrees is not quite 45 which is ideal........

Your inverting it..straight up is 90 degrees. 45* cuts 90 in half between vertical and pointing straight back...meaning 56* isn't enough angle....56 degrees is closer to.being vertical. 25 degrees would be basically pointing straight back...your measurements are.inverted....

heres where my shackle angle is right now. 70 degrees
if i move it one whole forward it is laying more flat at 34 degrees. you can see where i had to grind the mount to clear the shackle when i had it set there. i hope this clears up some of my confusion.
