I think mine did that, but I had extra leaves in them. Shouldn't do it regardless. Centerpin tight?? That would be the main cause....

My factory rear ones did that . I just whacked em and retorqued everything to be sure .

When was the last time you retorqued your U bolts? With a lift you should do it once a year.
yeah,it's tight.i'll check again just cuz.
the last time this happened to me was in 86. i broke the springs on my truck trying to carry 3000 lbs.

My front springs did that on drivers side. They were ROUGH COUntry Springs. Jus wacked them with BFH and retorqued.
well tommorow is {find out why i have running lights but no brake lite day} so i think i will re tighten them.
it's getting too cold for this Paul.
someone else asked me that. i got them from 4wheelparts,and no one seems to know.the front BDS springs have them.
let's see.
when i re installed them.i got 1/2 inch bolts when i first put them on.IDIOT.when i got the 9/16s we cranked them down good i tell ya.BUT,i know how that works.
that seems to be the way to go.the bashin and torquing shall happen tommorow.thanks brothers.

Spring clamps should still help shouldn't they? Any reason not to put a set on?

X2 Deffinatly make a pair of clamps, I did for my front add a leafs then just tac welded them to the bottom spring and put a bolt through the top of the clamp
My drivers side fronts were doing that. The pin had broken.
Crappy design. I know two guys with Skyjacker springs on their Toyotas that have had the same thing happen. Short of fixing it with an extra set of clamps closer to the mount you're pretty much left with the "bash and torque" method.

Happened to my Pro comp springs too. I think the most useful tool in my arsenal has been a BFH since I got my k5!
the "bash and torque' method fixed it brothers.i thought about adding a few clamps,but i know me. i won't see that spring move and i'll forget to re tighten the bolts.
i wish i woulda got the BDS springs.maybe ol ST. DARYL will get me a set for Christmas.all in all it's better than blocks.
