Default 52 f1 posi reverse eye front spring

Hi gents

I purchase posi reverse eye front spring for the 52 f1. Do I need to buy special shackles? One eye is up and other is down.

Do I need this:

Put the reversed eye to the front, if turned around it will bind on shackle housing at the top. Also make sure when setting up caster and camber using the 2-7 degree wedges between springs and axle.

Thanks. Hard to tell from pic but that looks like regular shackles.

I don’t need the pic I inserted?

Put those springs on my trucks. Just use the original ford shackles that came with truck.
