Re: new front leaf springs sitting crooked
Another thought:
In your first picture showing the shackle mis-alignment: how are you supporting the vehicle?
It's my guess that you have the suspension flexed somehow, especially since you still have the axle connected to the leaf springs and it appears the tires are on the ground.
Raise the truck evenly on both sides, OR it might be required to jack up under the axle on the side that is mis-aligned to match the angle.
OR Another way to do it (and maybe more work but it make more sense in my mind) would be to remove your axle from the frame (frame suspended with jack stands) and then you are only wrestling with the leaf spring and shackle itself. Get the leaf set up, then re-install the axle.
