Hi Brandon; that will fix itself with some driving. Take a look at the picture below and you'll see where the Dexter # K71-652-00 was installed on my Jayco. The shackle straps were in the same position. We have a course to simulate bumpy roads so I ran it over a bump and it popped right back into place.

Hey Brandon, how did things go after you drove with the new suspension setup? Did the shackle straps settle back into place like in the example from the Dexter kit? Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same issue.
