Icon AAL install question

I just got a set of Icon progressive AAL's (waiting for ups on the c/o's) and have a question... I held up the AAL pack to the factory pack in the correct orientation and it looks like a spring wrap would just barely clear the AAL. Would it be ok to just nip a 1/2" or so off the AAL and relocate the friction pad or should I cut that spring wrap off? I have the 3+overload factory leaf pack.
Here's a pic of how it looks:

 

I cut the wrap off.

 

Mine fit just fine,close but enough clearance

 

Mine fit fine also.

 

Thanks for the replies guys... I'll install them as is and see how it goes, if necessary I'll trim just a tad off to be sure they don't bind on the clamp.
