Default Gap between leafs after bastard pack instal.

Final got around to putting together a bastard pack using s10 leafs and when all was said and done I have about an 3/8 gap between my main and second leaf. Pretty sure this isn't normal. Either way is this going to hurt anything? I know I can put spring clamps on but I don't want to mask a potential problem. Tried using search but didn't really find much. Attached a picture, sorry about the quality. Thanks in advance!!

I would put spring clamps on it. Or u can use exhaust clamps that's what I put on mine. Holding up great no issues and still flexes awesome.

Doesnt look like you have the vehicle weight on it, once you put it all together and drop the jeep down it should be fine!

I have a tiny gap on my xj leaf to the s10 leafs but they have settled with driving and playing on some stuff flexing a little
