Is it advisable to remove the leaf retainers from the spring packs ?
Can they cause binding to a point where it will limit axle drop ?
Is what you see in these pictures typical spring pack characteristics alignment wise or do I need to loosen everything up and straighten the leafs ?
The u-bolt have always been kept properly torqued, the springs were basically inline when I bought the Jeep although the lift kit had never been used off road. I have twisted it up pretty good since I have had it so maybe this is just where the springs want to be ?
Also, the front shackles seemed to have taken on a out of square set referenced to the frame mount / pivot. Crappy bushings perhaps ?
