    I got my icon add a leafs installed at some random tire shop. When I picked it up it looked a little higher than I had expected. I took a closer look after work and noticed the clamp things from the oem springs are still there? Is this how it’s supposed to be, it doesn’t look right. Please assist.

    They installed them incorrectly. They should have stripped the factory leaf pack and only reused the main and overload.

    Might want to get new center pins as well. If they installed it like that could be a high chance they shot and f’d the center pin.

    WRONG!

    If you're using the enhancement pack the only leafs you keep are the main and the overload the rest of them get replaced.

    They said I didn’t provide instructions, but I brought them this time. So it was kinda my fault, but I thought they would’ve known how to.

    After they “fixed” the issue I noticed it was bouncy. But I thought it was normal the whole time, just looked under the leafs to see if there was any other issues. I was just measuring to see if they had he long/short part correctly and may have found the reason for the bounce. 1704255F-6ACC-4C3B-8165-7605AF7966CB.jpg

    I know one thing for sure, if you can’t get a full nut threaded you need a longer bolt.
