    IMG_0181.jpg Of course I have the standard issue of the second leaf making contact with my stock hangers. (Currently debating on getting all new leafs or getting hangers that will work with this leaf)

    But, my other issue is that only the driver side leafs are out of alignment. I tried tightening up the retainers which served no luck and even took a C clamp with some wooden blocks to try and compress them back in line but after releasing the clamp they sprung right back to their position immediately. The rear half of the leaf pack is inline all the way down past the ubolts and then they only start to go wonky towards the last foot or so of the pack. Anyone run into this issue? I know the contact is an issue I feel this misalignment just exaggerates the contact even more. I only have one picture but I can get more later!
