1 inch rear block installed but....

I installed a set of 1 inch rear blocks on my truck this afternoon and noticed that the bottom u-bolt carriage is not exactly at the 6:00 position. It is more at the 6:30-45 position. It should be ok right?

Thanks in advance,

I have never looked at these specific blocks. Are they angled on one side? That could explain it. I would think that the way they are sitting is incorrect. I would also think that would throw your pinion factor way out. Not sure though...

I know that didn’t help much.
Good Luck

Yeah I was able to straighten them out yesterday. I put them back to exactly where they were before. Plus now I won't constantly think about it, thanks for the input guys... I will post updated pics this weekend
