Having the coilover's angled forward or backward a very small amout usually isn't a big deal as long as the shocks/springs clear the rear housing assembly during the entire suspension travel. The reason some builders angle the rear shocks forward or backward a small amout has to do with the shock's changing C/L angle in relation to the arc the housing travels in during the full suspension travel.

Just remember that the more you angle the shocks (forward, backward, or inward) in relation to the suspension's travel path/arc, the more it can effect the total suspension travel distance, & shock valving/dampening effort, & required spring rate.

may need to take picture to show , im taking rear end out to get put together and set up .

it angles forward , and coil is rubbing the bracket which cant be good . I issue is its on jack stand and not on the ground . The nose is point down not at anywere near correct ride height ect with junk front wheels to roll on.

36 inch ladder bars i think they were slapped in not adjusted or near anywere they need to be as well
