Ive seen alot of guys that have their front spring mounted to their wishbones and im wanting to do the same thing on my truck. My question is, when the bones are at an angle from where they mount to the axle in the front, back to where they mount to the frame, does it put the spring pivot and shackles at an angle and kinda put the spring in a bind? Or is there something im missin? Im just wondering if theres something i should do or look for to keep the spring pivot/shackles/spring in alignment from one side to the other when i start on this. Thanks

The perch mounts and shackles are parallel with the spring, not perpendicular with the axle. They remain in the same plane as the spring no matter what angle the wishbones are at, therefore no bind. If you have never set up a suspension before PLEASE do lots and lots of research - your life and other's depend on it...
