    The bolt is notched on one side to prevent spinning

    im assuming this isn't a stock leaf spring since it is a front leaf spring?
    take a picture of what you are referring to as the "notch" because I'm not following you

    No it is the rear leaf springs. The front bolt had notches on the back of the head to prevent it from spinning
