Bent Leaf Spring Rebound Clip

Hi guys, I was inspecting my suspension today and I noticed that the leaf spring rebound clips on both sides were bent. Not too sure or clear on what could have caused this but is this something that is normal or should raise some concern? I don't notice any ride difference.

 

Time for some real springs. Check out www.nationalspringinc.com

Good luck with your truck.

 

Yeah I have the stock bump stops still in place. Can't really think of too many times I bottom out. I wonder if flexing the springs too hard might have something to do with it?

 

Looks like you were spot on. Went and checked where the clip would hit the frame and low and behold you could see the marks.

 

It's actually not stock leaf springs. It's the medium Dakar leaf packs. Just need to upgrade my bump stops and possibly stiffen up my Fox shocks in the rear.

 

mine is bent much worse than this. any safety concerns i should be worried about?

 

Not really. As long as the clips in the front are good you should be alright.

 

there are 4 rebound clips in total on each side and 3 of them have bolts on the top to tighten them. The one with no bolt is bent on the outer side of both leaf springs if that makes sense.

 

Here is a photo to show you what is bent. Just 2 tabs in total

 

I bent mine as well, I have a u-bolt flip kit with wheelers super bumps and medium dakars. Also this happened at the same time

 

I have the the same setup aha and damn sorry to hear that man!

 

here is a photo

 

this clip doesn't have that bolt

 

nope, my only concern was the leafs shifting around

 

Did it myself and they are at 75 ft/lb. good eye hahaha putting on some bronze f5's!
