Installing a grannys speed rear end and for some reason it’s sitting further back. So the springs aren’t seating properly and I’m not sure if the pinion angle is correct. I was thnking maybe I’d take it to a chassis shop to see if this is a chassis issue or something else .

I'd try contacting Granny's first. They made it and should be able to support it.

Either that spring perch was welded on in the wrong spot or the entire rear end is too far rearward. How does a wheel fit in the wheel well? Chassis shop won't have an easy solution for you. Grannies is known for being slow to respond. You'll need adjustable upper or lower arms to fix the pinion angle.
