It lets the leaves of the pack separate when the the suspension droops.
Removing the clamps is not a great idea as it can lead to more axle wrap and also the leaves moving sidways out of line of the rest of the pack.
What I have found works well is to either make some new clamps or flatten yours out if they are the folded over type and put a bolt and a spacer tube across the top. But make sure you leave about a 20mm gap between the bolt and the pack so the leaves can still separate a little and twist a bit without going all over the place.
