Its close but there is daylight. You haven't noticed any banging while the suspension is cycling during a drive?
No noises at all and I have several speed bumps on my street.
During normal driving the shackle moves toward the rear and would only hit if I really got the back of the truck in the air.
The third picture makes it look closer than it is and it would hit on the bottom of the support if it did hit.
So what's the general consensus here? Maxtrac, Crown, other? I removed my rear block when I first got the truck but I still have a ton of rake. Need to swap out my U-bolts for the shorter 2wd ones so I'd like to just add shackles, shim at the same time and be done with it.
I was about to try the cheaper, generic 13-4200 shackles but I just noticed the bushing design seems off from the others? Wondering if that will cause any issues? Here's pics for comparison.

Another Amazon find, odd bushings too it looks like?
Following. Two things I'd like to know.
1.What's involved in notching the crossmember? Cutting? "Massage" with a hammer?
2. Shims needed? Not needed? If so how many degree shim?
