Matt,
Why put the clamps in front of the axle, and not behind where the leafs are
spread out? ( I have 2" lowering blocks). I saw a Nova track car & it had
the
clamps at the rear. Which way & why? Why 2 sets per side? I don't want to
spend $50 for clamps! Already bought 2 sets, one per side, at $11.34/ set,
that's enough. Why have the snubber under the spring eye, where it won't
contact the leaf pack at all? I thought it's purpose was to stop the leaf
pack from moving downward, thus stopping wind-up. Am I missing something
here?
