I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 5.7 Hemi Quad Cub.
Recently I replaced my leaf springs and leaf spring shackles. I torqued everything to spec but the top of the shackles rest against the shackle bracket on both sides when truck is on the ground. Im didn't pay attention when taking the old ones off. Should the leaf spring bracket be straight up and down?
Can't find anything in the manual or online

This is the best three pics I can get but both sides look the same.

Looks like the bushing is worn out. That's an easy replacement.
