47-55.1 Cab too low at the rear, any ideas? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone have any ideas on why my cab is low in the rear?

Ok, what am I missing here. I bolted these shackles on the back of the cab. New bushings, it was the proper height. I trailered the thing to my new house (700 miles) and now the cab is a half inch lower in the rear and even hit the running board aprons denting the cab. Glad it wasn't painted! So I jacked the cab up where it belongs and there is a half inch gap to the shackle. Any ideas?

Is there suppose to be a spacer between the shackle and the cab? Is this shackle mounted too low on the frame or something? The holes where there, I didn't drill them.
