    So I finally got my lift installed yesterday, took about 15 hours total. First time for both me and my brother. The issue is that we didn't notice one if the leaf got caught until I got home. Here is the correct one(passenger) and then the incorrect one(driver).

    My question is how canI fix this? Are my leafs ruined? I was thinking if Jack it back up and I let then sag the flex might pop it into place?

    I'd jack it up, remove the bold and fix it. You're fine I'm sure.
