seems like it is keeping the rear axle a little higher then the front thats why I was wandering
 
The left shackle in that pick is inverted. Jack up the right axle and use a pry bar to flip it back.
 
The shackles on my other trailer are set up like your rear shackle. Make I had it backwards and the front shackle is the one that needs flipped.

you'll wast your time using a pry bar if it's a decent size trailer. All you have to do is jack the axle up high as you can and it will fix itself.

I learned this the hard way one night it was pouring down the rain and the Jeep was already loaded. I spent about an hour w/ a BF pry bar and using my skid steer to lift the trailer. I worked my ass off and gave up thinking I was going to miss the ride. So I got smart and called my trailer manufacturer and luckily he answered after hours and he told me the same thing I told you and yes it took longer to get the jack out.

Glad it worked out.

All you owe me is a good deal on that sweet 50Z. Look back through your PM's.:bounce2:
