Hey guys I was cruising today and when i got to my dad's place I noticed the front end was 3 inches lower. I jacked her up and saw the lower adjuster grub screw was missing. ( the grub screw that presses into the leafs ) looks cool, but is it safe?I raised it up a little with the remainder adjuster to get home and didn't notice any difference.

Is it ok to drive around like this temporarily? There isn't much load in the front plus the leafs are narrowed 5inches. What are your thoughts?

You should be ok for getting home. All the weight is now on the top stack of leafs. You might actually have a smoother ride. But don't expect them to take abuse for a long time.
