    Ok so i went to put my 2 inch add a leaf on and the alignment clamp got in the way. The leaf seemed too long. Its from TopGun Customs. I tried to send it back but it would cost me $50 to send my $80 aal back. I was wondering if it will fit in the clamp. Also will it squeak real bad down the road? Any advice helps. Yes i know its upside down in the picture i just took this as a reference.

    2 things, in one pic, the leaf looks to be upside down & yeah, it looks a little long, is it just a single leaf your adding ? If so, easy fix, cut about 2.75" - 3" off the AAL & you should be good to go dude...

    UPDATE.. Prerunners have more leaf spring clamps. So you have to get the shorter leafs. Im not the type of guy to modify parts or grind things off my truck. The place said they would exchange them and pay for shipping back which is awesome bc it would cost me 50$ to ship to california.
