Does this leaf spring U-Bolt look right?

[akxj01]

I am in the process of building a leaf pack and I bought some new U-Bolts, although upon a closer look I noticed how the 'U' part of the bolts are not uniformly curved. You can see in this picture. All four u-bolts are like this. Is this OK. Since the bolt will not contact the axle evenly, will this cause any problem? Thanks.

x2. I bought some ubolts from an International truckshop back in September and installed them in November.

The guy bent them in a press and then had various tools to ensure they were the proper curve and also that each "side" was spaced the correct distance apart from the other.
