    Searched for a thread for this, but couldn't find one for this specific problem. I just installed an AAl on the back, and noticed that I rotated the overload leaf 180 degrees. It is still the right way up, I did not flip it. Just wondering if this will cause a problem? Only thing I can see that is different is one side has threads for the brake line bracket, and the other doesn't. do I need that bracket secured? for the mean time, I have just ziptied it to the same spot, but it still clings around, would I be alright with that removed?

    Flipping it like you have may have some implications on the performance of the 'progressive'-ness of the leaf pack. If i recall, that overload leaf should stick out further towards the back of the truck from the axle than it does towards the front of the truck. That may cause some leaf performance issues, maybe not tho. Not sure about the brake bracket. If the brake line isn't a hard line i can't imagine it affecting anything besides just not being bolted down.
