Is the kit you linked too the exact kit you bought or did you just buy the leaf springs? Looks like the kit included bolt on bump stop spacers? Did you not fit them?
And no the position of the spring locating pin wouldn't make a difference.

Wagtail is a 4x4 centre in off the M40. We had an SCUK weekend there in August.

Yeah it's the exact kit, I didn't put the bump stop spacers on mainly because I didn't have a clue how to fit them

I don't think it matters. Spring length is still the same. All that would affect is the axle position. I can't imagine an aftermarket kit positioning the axle anywhere but centre.
To answer your last post hes usually out around shearing season. Always wears wellies too so i heard.
Had a think, and agree the pin position would just move the axle position in the arch. It is a spring or shackle length thing. I've also read the kit contents again. You did fit the extended bump stops didn't you?
Always got wellies, the ones with straps around the tops, just in case....

Yeah fit the spacers and report back, if you still get shackle inversion it's time for a slightly longer shackle, looking at the shackle angle at ride height I have a feeling you might need them even with the spacers.

Please don't tell me that was the problem all along. I generally feel like a retard.

Always prepared
Fitted the extended stops should solve it. Thats why the kit comes with them.
