Leaf spring

[Hitsman3]

Was going to install the dexter-ez flex suspension today. Well long story short, didn’t have all the tension off the rear passenger side leaf spring & as you can imagine when I hit the bolt out of the shackle it sprung up and hit the frame. Thought maybe it might of flattened out on me but after I took it off it still had the curve to it. Figured I would tackle this project another day when I got more time. When I put that leaf spring back on i figured I would at least put the bronze bushing & wet bolts from morryde on and save me time for the next time. It didn’t quite line up with the stock equalizer though so I think it might have twisted it just a bit, can’t tell with the naked eye. When I put the morryde shackles on it took some pushing and shoving to get it to go. The inside shackle won’t sit flush against the leaf spring eye. Took it for test drive in town and highway and everything is fine except for when I turn in our cul d sac to back into driveway and got a loud pop that I’ve never heard before doing this. I Want to replace it but are they Dexter leaf springs?
