Now... can I take just enough leaves out to make the U clamps fit as they should,which would put it back to proper ride height,and if so ,how would this effect the ride. If this will not work, what would you suggest I do to get the clamps on properly? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Also remember there were different clamps for different springs.
