    Better get to mountain biking before you can't fit under your truck anymore.

    Usually that's either a loose center bolt (pin) or loose u-bolts. You can tap them back straight, then check for reasons it could be doing that.

    Last time I helped someone with a u-bolt flip kit like in that photo, they found out they're only running grade 5 u-bolts. Those are really weak, not sure if that's what is shown in the photos, but grade 5 will stretch and loosen up more often than the grade 10.8 u-bolts.

    Could also be over extension by shocks that are too long, or shackle reversal, or something else allowing the springs to stretch out further than designed.

    Not many places that will open their shop, let you work on your truck and give advise too. I will recommend them too

    didn’t see this being an issue, but it could be what’s going on.

    u bolts are also grade 5 and property torqued.

    It's not uncommon for leaves so shift/splay/fan out under certain conditions. Happens on OE springs too on all sorts of vehicles.

    I have seen this to be the case upon looking into it. That leaf has a retainer in the front of the pack, so it probably can’t move much more.

    63s were always the plan. Had to have something to work for a year or 2.
