Isn't that front spring hanger supposed to be the other way around

 

No they came that way. You can't run caltracs with them either. Still trying to figure out how much drop these hangers produce. Plans are to swap out with a 2 hole hanger.

 

Picture #2 Does the shackle have a crack in it at the weld?

I thought the same but its the paint surprisingly

 

So come to find out my Groundforce suspension already has 2" drop hangers and shackles cant go any lower.. I ordered these new leaf springs from GMPartsDirect which said they were compatible with my truck on there site and obviously there not! I sent them a email concerning my issue, its going on 5 days now still haven't heard anything back. Sooo.. Does anyone know where else i can get OEM springs?

 

Gmpartsgiant.com or any of the other online gm parts sites, or if you have the part number from the original sorings google it and you should be able to find them without issue...

 

If they fit and bolt in fine, they are compatible. You can't blame them for the leaf springs raising the truck. They are new parts after all.

I bet OEM leaf springs from the GM dealer would do the same thing. It's why where I used to work we never replaced just one side.

 

Throw some plastic sheeting in the bed and fill it with water until it sets on the bump stops for a few days.
