Is this normal?

Is my frame normal...I am worried the previous owner.....who was going to bag it and stopped when he got his girl prego after 2 weeks of the project....either bent the frame or hit the frame with the axle? Or am I worrying about nothing?

Also is this a normal spring pack thickness? Or did he remove a leaf?

Thanks for any input in advance....you guys are good.

If the short "leaf" on the bottom is thicker than the rest of the Leaves, then it is the overload leaf. The leaf above it is sagging(it should not be resting completely on the over-load leaf(that is no big deal), but from the looks of the bent leaf alignment bracket, the rear springs have lived a rough life.....wait for other members who know lots more, to reply.

yes ur leafs are sagging a little, nothing big though. i beleive the frame comes like that. i think my rangers have the same little dent in the frame. if anything it was carrying a large load and bumper the frame and caused a small dent. nothing big to worry about.

2nd glance---there's hardly no room for the axle to "bounce" up when you hit a big bump, + looks like he removed the big rubber frame bump stop (probably because with it in place there was no axle travel at all)---you're gonna hear a lot of banging on rough roads...

THanks guys I thought the leafs looked a little odd.

Yeah the frame in "bent" in right were the axle would line up from factory. Nothing to worry about
