I'm guessing it does effect the ride some as he is tie-ing the leaves together

I was guessing the same thing....but you never know. If this solves the dreaded axle wrap/hop problems without caltracs, I am in.

Axle wrap is caused by the pinion gear trying to climb the ring gear. This in effect bends the leaf springs into an "S" shape. The front part of the spring bows upward, and the rear part bows down. What I don't understand is how clamping the front part helps eliminate this. The spring pack is already forced together at that point due to the torque being applied. Maybe I'm thinking about this all wrong. Either way, those clamps will work well in shortening your springs life.
