Default Front leaf spring
I was doing some normal maintenance on the front end. Noticed the front leaf didnt have a bolt on top of the spring. Is that normal or did i manage to lose it at some point?

When you say bolt on top are you referring to the lowering bolt on the end of the transverse leaf?

If you're talking about the ride height adjustment bolt, the "head" of the bolt is on the bottom side
