    I have done all the hi-pro mods for a life time, since I got this truck at a great price, I will be happy with showroom new.
    well, I did not notice it till my last hard undercarriage cleaning but one leaf had split and someone pieced it together and used a large hose clamp to tie it together! Now some might differ but in my book that is a half-ass fix.
    if its sunny in the morning I will take a pic.

    Get new leaf packs and see how long they last. I can almost guarantee your blocks are contributing significantly to the degradation of your leaves

    The only reason i think that blocks didnt cause it is because the stock leafs broke also with no blocks
