McLeod Dual Disc Clutch PROBLEM?

I installed a Mcleod dual disc in my truck when the centerforce broke the center out. I noticed just in the last
week that the clutch does not fully engage until I get nearly all the way off of the clutch pedal. It does start
to engage with the pedal about an inch off of the floor. It does not slip even when standing on the throttle in
overdrive at 1500 rpm and letting the boost hit about 43 psi or so. Has anyone seen there mcleod discs wear
out very quickly or is this a "feature" and I shouldn't worry about it?

Forgot to mention - I installed the clutch march 31 this year and it has about 7,000 miles onit so far. About
500 miles towing a 13K pound trailer.
