So my neighbor and I were talking and I mentioned
spring clamps and he says, "We got something at work that
might work REAL well for that" Support braces from a
300 ton crane ... LOL

I made my own and put them on and don't really notice the difference. If you know of a good spot to mount them let me know cause i put mine on the last 2 springs and i don't really notice much.

They look like they will work great. Use some strong grade 8 bolts to mount them and in my opinion they need to go on the front side of the axle and only over two leafs near the front of the spring. I use them and also removed my front sway bar to help with weight transfer. I only stall up to about 900 rpm's so not to take action out of the truck and when the light drops its to the floor quick, the truck transfers good and the spring clamps help with axle wrap by makeing the two leafs work together and keep them stiff. I get 1.78 - 1.80 60's everytime on F1's @ 28psi. I treid them in many places and even used two sets on each side then ended up with the single set mounted as descibed. good luck

Anytime SVT_KY just play with them some until you like it. Take you ratchet to the track and move them around. When I ran two sets on each side it seemed a little to stiff for me with everyday driving.
