Exactly the right way to do it.There is side to side movement in the spring pack by loosening the 4 u-bolt nuts. I'd use a 3lb-6lb hammer to knock the spring to proper alignment then tighten the u-bolts to specs. The spring pack has a center alignment pin.
This is like an aftermarket upgrade and depends on how much road use you are doing and what kind of roads (washboard or plain ol' rutted). Worth it if you spend a lot of time OTR.Not sure about misaligned springs, but I think now would be a good time to go ahead and install wet bolts with new shackles.
This is what we have to do on our Jeep from time to time depending on off road use with a lift kit. Even the best springs, shackles and U bolts can move but tapping them back into place won't hurt it.There is side to side movement in the spring pack by loosening the 4 u-bolt nuts.

Didn't know it would raise it 2" but we could use it, would be easier to get it on/off the hitch. Checking the shackles, U bolts, axles and springs is just something I do on a regular basis no matter what is on top of it, they move and will wear to a breaking point. I wonder if poly bushings would help with road wear?One of my shackles broke last summer just as I was getting home from Wyoming and Colorado. Although we don't see too many posts here about broken shackles, I've heard that it's a pretty common failure - maybe that's why we see so many recommendations for wet bolts. Dexter had already given me an upgrade EZ-Flex kit at the Gillette Rally, so it was just what I needed.
The Correct Track is pricey - $300 parts, $100 laser alignment, $360 labor at CW, plus tax. If you install it yourself, you might wait for CW to put the laser alignment on sale for $50.
Be aware that the aftermarket kit raises the trailer 2". The factory installed Correct Track does not.
