Leaf Spring unaligned

Hey guys, so today i noticed my left rear leaf spring was not aligned, the small one on the bottom is starting to twist to the side. I remember another guy having this problem, but i couldnt find his thread. What do I do in this case? anyone have that thread?

Thanks

pull the rear axle off (or atleast detach it from the springs and jack the rear of the truck up. use jack stands!!) get new center pins and clamps. push the new centerpins in place, this should realign the springs. then clamp the springs back.

Hit it with a hammer and then tighten the u bolts down. No need to get fancy it's an easy job with an easy fix. Shouldn't take more than a couple minutes. If your u bolts are frozen then buy some new ones.
