Hello... I put on a set of Lakewood slapper bars and have the snubbers within 1/2 of the leaf spring eye bolt centerline as recommended. The bars are parallel with the springs but as you can see, slightly angled down about 4 or 5 degrees (see picture). I understand the Lakewood warning in the installation instruction sheet regarding a downward angle and I understand it is to ensure a safe condition under hard braking when the slapper bar can angle down even further and possibly make contact with the ground or a raised surface... but is a slight angle like 4 or 5 degrees a concern? Those with slapper bar experience, would you shim these slapper bars shown to get them closer to parallel with the ground or does the clearance look adequate? Thanks in advance.
