    Tie rod length discrepancies

    Get it close and drive it slowly to get it aligned or just have it towed if you can't zero it close enough to drive a mile or to. The alignment shop will straighten it out if it is off.

    leaf springs look ok? shackle has some angle but too much?

    Not much arch and long homemade looking shackles. I would call ESPO and get some new ones and shackled ordered.

    Steering wheel 90 degrees off to the the left after centering all steering components

    With the wheel centered, you need to shorten one tie rod assembly and lengthen the other side. You will need to figure out which way to go by how the tires are pointed. Recheck the toe in when you are done. This is how the alignment shops center steering wheels.

    Cant spin wheel after lugs are tight

    If the drum will turn with no wheel attached, try turning it as you tighten the lug nuts up a little at a time. Put a couple nuts on (taper out) and see what happens.

    Leaf spring buckling upward

    It's all about the arch of the spring. It inverts the shackle. Normal? Not really but it will happen. Both springs did what the OP described when I replaced them. A long pry bar between the spring eye and the shackle fixed the issue.
