Uneven leaf

Is this bad? Should I leave it alone or fix it? And how would I fix it? Would I need to replace u bolts? Thanks.

 

I would probably just hammer it over back into place

 

What he said and may wanna check torque on u bolts

 

Thanks. I just hammer it in like that? Do I jack it?

 

I'd loosen the u-bolts and then give it a few good whacks until it seems aligned, then torque the u-bolts back to spec... 73 ftlb if you're on stock u-bolts... however my aftermarket set says 93 ftlbs.

 

I would probably jack it up by the frame and remove the wheel, and like Bert said, loosen the u-bolts a little

 

thanks guys.
Don’t ubolts need to be replaced after loosening?

 

That's what "they" say, but honestly, you're fine reusing them as long as they're not visibly damaged. This site is full of people that have loosened and re-tightened them numerous times.

The rational is that the threads can stretch, but I truly doubt that's happening on these trucks with such minimal torque on a very large diameter bolt.

 

U-bolts aren't single-use. Occasionally you may find aftermarket U-bolt sets where the nuts are single-use.
