    It would help if you labeled your pictures, but it looks like the bottom leaf on the driver's side is broken.

    Let's start with determining if it is broken. It should be obvious if you are there on the scene.

    But anyway, I doubt a random add-a-leaf is equivalent to the bottom leaf unless the bottom leaf if the same brand/model/year add-a-leaf.

    7 on each. Can see them all if you zoom in. From the latest pics she posted the driver side springs are flat, they look shot. The passenger has a nice arch.

    What stage (1,2,3) did you have them install? Comes shipped at stage 1.
    Your “extra” leaf is for swapping/adding to leaf pack for different stages.

    *edit- you swap your extra leaf for the third one down from top for stage 2.
    Use all leafs including “extra” for stage 3

    7 if you count the one that appears to be broken. It's separated from the rest of the pack and doesn't appear to be connected to the other half of the leaf on the other side of the axle.

    Can you copy paste which pic you see one broken? Im not seeing what you are seeing? Or maybe just say pic 1, 2 , or 3 of the driver side?

    Ok, but an add-a-leaf is not likely to be the same as the 7th "normal" leaf regardless of leaf pack brand/model/year. In any case, you'll need to compare the two to see if they are identical.

    I made an edit to my post above explaining the “extra” leaf.

    Does the bottom leaf not look strange to you in this pic?

    Actually, wait... I think I'm mistaking some other metal thing for a leaf.

    Event though I e got a second gen, we have the same setup (6112/5160, Icon RXT) I’m running stage 2. I’ve got the same lean, roughly 1/2-3/4” lower on driver/left side. Wasn’t always there, just noticed after returning from a recent trip. Removed/reinstalled front coil overs and rear springs, lean is still there. I’m guessing the Icon sag after awhile like the stockers...

    Actually, is the 5th leaf from the top on the drivers side busted? On the passenger side I see 5 leafs that extend beyond the picture, but only 4 on the driver's side. Then on on the driver's side there appears to be part of leaf hanging below the leaf pack and not connected to anything coming from the other side of the axle.

    This pic looks weird to me.

    I think we need better pics with driver/passenger/front/rear labels.

    There are no broken leafs... If one was broken you would see a rough rusty end or a rusty crack/gap, they all look like they still have black paint on them.

    Was the lean there after the springs were installed or did it happen awhile after? I think this question should have been asked first.
