Post Drop shackles

Has anyone used 1 1/2 drop shackles? Will they clear the box floor? I want a set but it looks like the leaf spring might hit the box floor.

Mine work great. When i ordered mine they said the shackles would hit the bed floor. Nothing hits anywhere.

I have them on mine and they hit if the suspension is maxed out. I notched the box support. I have a set for sale though if you are interested.
And its the shackle that would hit the box, not the leaf
