That does look twisted. Gotta ask. There is a pin on the top of the spring that has to go into a hole on the axle bracket. It's in the hole, right?

because it certainly is. Looks like it got bent or the bushings are shot.

Pin is in the hole and it’s brand new leaf pack.

Then you have a bad set. Contact the supplier.

The pin is actually hitting the bottom of the axle causing it to not seat properly.

Then that should be an easy fix if you flip it over and hit it with the grinder.

Yep, I’ll save it for tomorrow. rain is in the forecast. FYI these are “Steeling” brand off eBay..... raised the cart 1.25”. I had 8” shackles I made installed prior to this. These leafs with the 8” shackles set my wheel well at 22.5” off the ground.

This is a stock 03 DS
