Are these on backwards? This is on a 71 longbed 2-1/4 leaf and I ride REAL low after a DJM flip. Another board member thought these were drop shackles but I got the same size as these when I ordered 'stock' shackles. There is also a debate as to whether my 3-1 leafs had some removed from 5-1 or if it came that way, I only see 5-1 as replacements. Thanks.
