    Level 1: don’t worry about it and check them next year
    Level 2: wrap it with some duct tape and zip ties
    Level 3: withdraw from the Tennessee Baja this weekend
    Level 4: immediately thread a self tapper and see how long it will hold
    Level 5: call AAA and have it towed to the suspension shopBB40E9C4-97EE-4B14-AEB3-1213F542E30A.jpg529ED126-FFC7-474B-95B4-6C472EED9850.jpg

    Level 5...... Your 1st picture shows the top spring touching the frame. Are you a low-rider?

    It's a Toyota.

    Just drive a little slower, and pretend nothing is wrong.

    Ignarance and naivety will keep you safe.
    Toyota engineered It that way.

    Is the leaf against the frame rail? That doesn’t look right to me but could be the picture. You can probably jack up the truck and tappy tap the leaf back in alignment.
