Leaf Springs Out of line.

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this or not, but it's a first gen so here goes. I have noticed that over the past year one of the leaves in my springs has shifted out of alignment. it happened on both sides (same spring) and I can't figure out how to get them back into place. I tried the sledge, and then tried again after relieving the pressure by lifting the back end off the ground. Even if I can get them back I'm not sure how to keep them there. The brackets that are supposed to keep them in line are to far apart and are at each end of the springs. I don't think they move.

Any Ideas? Anyone have this happen before? I will try to get some pics later. Any help or ideas would be great.

 

A photo of said leaf pack would help. Those 2 leaves are likely AAL's, and not part of the original pack.

Easiest way to straighten a leaf is to loosen the u-bolt nuts (not remove), then use the hammer. then re-tighten the nuts.
