Check the measurement on the blue k5... I.E. where the shackle drops. Looks like to me that they're dropping in the same place. The blue K5 has 4" lift 3/4ton springs (56") that with the 4" shackle flip netted 6" total lift and is very flexible, as you know.
It's definately something with the springs. Go back and look at post #244. The shackle angle is almost the same with the ORD flip on it. Keep in mind too that there's almost no load on those springs right now either.
