Default Clunk when accelerating from full stop

Hey guys , I noticed both add-a-leafs were snapped in half when I was rotating my tires, these are the add leafs that came with my rcd kit by the way, I ordered some fabtech replacements installed them bolted everything back together exactly the same but now I noticed a slight hesitation when accelerating from a full stop followed by a slight kick in the rear? I only feel it from a full stop and only when I get on the gas a little? The install went without a hitch and I put everything back together the same wtf? anyways thnx in advance I know u guys will kno if I f' d something!

Being you broke leaves I'm guessing you have big blocks under the springs which will only makes axle wrap that much worse. Makes the driveline bind up which can break u joints
