Setting up a leaf spring truck

[Hanshotfirst]

Hello all,
I’m putting together a leaf spring truck with some aftermarket flat rails and some universal leaf springs and shackles. My question is how tight should everything be on the shackles? Obviously not so tight that they won’t rotate but how loose is right?

Actually very simple. Enough to move freely with as little side to side movement as possible. Don't want them to bind but don't want the axle flopping either
