    looking to see if anyone is runnng OME spring pack
    I installed mine prob back in March-April last year stock shackles gave me the lift I was looking for like the ride etc. bit recently noticed a clunk when I turn kind of sharp left or right ruled out my receiver the spare tire, exhaust, so today I climbed underneath and had a buddy shake it side to side and I’ve determined that just the drivers side spring is sliding back forth in the front mounting Perch just a bit but enough to make this clunk and yes I made sure it was tight. It seems like the inner sleeve of the bushing isn’t long enough and it’s letting it slide
    Any one else experience this ??
    And what other spring packs are out there ?
    I tow a 3000lb 6x12 enclosed trailer
    Any suggestions would be great. Thanks much

    I’m not sure I could agree if it had movement up and down but it is only side to side. I can put a pry bar between the perch and the leaf bushing eye. And actually move it like the bolt is loose but it’s not
