I've never removed my leaf springs before so, I need your help. My tire on the passanger side in the rear looks like it sticks out a bit more than the other. (by the way they don't stick out of the fender, I just don't know what other way to describe it). I'm thinking there might be a problem with the alignment on the pin that goes through my leaf springs. Unfortunately, I didn't get to install my shackles and hangers myself, so I have to look if that is the problem. Do I have to remove the whole leaf, or can I remove the U bolts and the axle will fall back (of course, I will have a support so it won't fall completely to the gound).?

I think most trucks have this problem. My front and rear passenger tires stick out a little more.
