clamped leaf springs
#12
well my truck use to 1.76 60' all day long with the fronts only clamped....
ill try them on the rear for track use only, i dont want it riding rough. im not into having a DD bagged truck/1" suspension travel truck anymore im more into comfort vs looks. i dont want to sink any money into a drop kit bc i dont want to hear any crap from the fiance' plus i want to be able to tow with my truck if i ever need to *future SCSB S10 project*

I put the spring clamps in the front, just to stop wheel hop at the track. Sprays truck does hook well with his setup. I cut 1.74's without the clamps & have Only cut 1.75's with them

Can you guys post up some pics of your clamp setups? Trying to get a better idea of how this works and is put together. Sorry for my ignorance but I have never heard of or seen a leaf spring clamped. Been hearing about it alot lately so sparking interest.

i ended up lowering my truck 4/6.5" did a few side jobs and got the kit and have yet to put the clamps back on. i can tell the rearend rolls without the clamps on so
i'll get them installed one day. as of now im just driving the truck and enjoying it

So logic tells me that clamping the springs on either the front or the rear would change the pinion angle... What are you guys doing about that? Clamping the front would certainly add to the pinion angle, likely enough to the point where drivetrain torque will cause a vibration.

i never had that issue. it only changes the pinion a 1/4* to a 1/2* which never bothered my truck. i have yet to even mess with the truck since its been lowered. 2 months of driving it all over and its very fun to drive
