Spring Bucket Alignment

[willwork04]

I installed my RPG 1.5" collar last night. Very happy with it.

Question: The alignment on one of my spring buckets isn't perfect. See attached picture.

I *think* it should work itself out and rotate around and be fine due to the angles. Is this something I need to fix or is it OK to leave it be? I am also thinking I should not get an alignment until it fully aligns. But, I am also wondering if the force is too strong and too much friction for it to rotate.

Thank you in advance!

Bump -- anyone got any ideas? Truck is driving fine.

It ain't going back into place by itself. Also its probably fine to leave it, but that would drive my ocd nuts. In fact it bothers me you haven't fixed it already[emoji23]

Compress the spring and slide it in place. I wouldn’t leave it like that if it was me.

I purchased some Craftsman spring compressors for $50 that I use when ever adjusting the shocks.
