Dave, if you wheel, those spring clips will limit your flex since they keep the pack locked together. I fixed the fanning problem by welding a square U-bolt to the bottom overload bar pointing up to keep the other leafs within its "channel". This way they don't fan out and they are also still disconnected from each other so that during droop the pack can flex apart further. Many of us including Rick have our leafpacks set up this way.
