    i have 3.5'' skyjacker springs in the front of my '57 and every time i hit a log or rock the axle shifts back and the front of the spring gets stuck up against the frame behind the shackles. has anyone else had or heard of this issue?

    Your shackles are inverting. You need some longer shackles.
