Bent Leaf springs

[DHC6-300]

I have my F350 set up with the soft set up for the leaf springs as sugested in the manual. However after some driving (a little rough, but nothing to crazy) I have noticed that the leaf springs are bending. They are bending on the front side of the axle (in the rear) and seem to be bending because of the tie rod connecting the rear hubs. Any one else have this problem?

If i understand what your explaining, it torque twist from the diff. you can put the next biggest leaf on top of the main leaf, that should reduce the effect or you can make up a brace using some of the left over parts. i can try to find pics if you need.

That's great, thanks for the link. The brace you are talking about, is it like the one pictured in the form link you gave me? Also the brace on the axle, is it a part that came in the kit?

Hi, yep the one pictured about half way down the 1st page. The braces come with the kit, they are unused part on the 'L' Tree with the leaf mounts etc.
