Removing clamp on leaf spring

I ran into this a couple years ago. I installed a 1 inch add a leaf to the pack. According to 4wheel parts procomp was the only option and it was only $100. The spring length made it fit between the existing leafs which meant it had to be separated. I ground off the pin inserted the leaf and reassembled without the clips. 3 years later no issues. Increased my payload capacity and now my truck doesn't sag with a load due to the leveling kit.
It did squeak but it turned out my springs were actually damaged so I replaced the entire leaf spring packs. My bushings in my shackles also squeak so you might want to look into those before you go ahead and mess with your springs.
