Default Leaf springs out of alignment?

Hey, this might be a bonehead question, but if my rear left lowest leaf (the heavy load leaf) is about 1/4 to half a centimeter out of alignment on the rear side, but in alignment on the front, is this something I should worry about or is this normal? Otherwise everything's fine everywhere else...this being the only oddity after my inspection, I know I'm going to obsess about it.

Thanks fellas.

I'm thinking what your thinking is that since it's off in the rear, it should be off in the front just the opposite way. If it's gonna bother you, jack up the frame to take the weight off the pack, get a bfh and pound that bastard back in. Make sure the u-bolts are torqued to spec. The u-bolts are something I check every time I get back from wheeling. Just my own habit.



edit:

Just re-read your post. A centimeter is nothing to worry about. Now, when you get into the "inch" category, then start thinking about doing something.
