Anyone had a "death wobble" from the shackles not being at 45 degrees?

"This allows the spring shackles to be located at their stock angle of approximately 45 degrees. Mike explains: “I think the shackle angle is very important front or back. When people flatten the springs out by removing leaves or by re-arching or even heating them, the springs become longer. This pushes the bottom of the shackles out so they become almost vertical. This will cause some serious ‘death wobble.'”
