it really wasnt i just had to do alot of tightening with the c clamp becuase it was a long leaf it had to go between the top one and the bottom one but it definitely raised it and added payload to it cause it used to sag just from me standin on the hitch and im not a big guy lmao but now it doesnt sag at all. Im so happy thanks guys for the help
