Question Bottom leaf out of place?

I have a 98 F150 SuperCab with short bed. The bottom leaf of BOTH rear springs has moved outboard about 3/4" at the rear. Neither leaf is broken.
Anybody else with this condition?
Is it a "problem"?
Recommendations?

I think there was a recall or TSB on some of the trucks for a clip to keep the springs from doing what you are describing. I'm sure someone with some more info will chime in here in a bit.

Go to this site and click on recalls/tsb in the right hand menu. I remember seeing the tsb here calling for clips to keep the springs lined up.
