Do shifting leafs mess with vehicle alignment?

So this might be a dumb question…but figured I’d ask to be safe. For those with aftermarket leaf packs, after a hard day of wheeling you notice the bottom (shorter) leafs have a tendency to shift somewhat, nothing bad, but enough to kinda bug you. Do you have to jack up the axle and loosen the u bolts, and just take a rubber mallet and whack them back in line? And if so (here comes the dumb question) does it mess with the alignment at all? Asking because I remember hearing somewhere that messing with the leaf pack can sometimes screw up your alignment? No idea if this is true or not, but figured I’d ask you pros out there lol. Thanks in advance

 

I don't think it does much or anything with alignment. But I think leafs shifting might cause driveshaft vibes not sure.

 

No but maybe re check your ubolts lol.

 

I checked, I think they weren’t tight enough. I tightened them down to 75lbs, def didn’t feel that tight
