How does my rear shackle angle look?

I just moved my rear hangars forward about an inch because they were only angled about 5 degrees, rode like a wagon and hardly no flex. These springs have about 4 trail rides on them so far. It rides a ton better now and flexes better, but I'm thinking they may be too far forward now. They are 42-45 degrees back at rest. When the tire is fully tucked the shackles rest on the frame as you can see and act like a bump stop but the spring is almost flat at that point. What do you guys think? Should I decrease the angle some or leave it alone?
