What would happen if I were to mount them further in? Or if I mount one close to the axle and one like you have pictured above? Basically, at one end there is no where I can mount my clamp but on the short leaf. At the other end I can mount it to one of the longer ones.

I'm going to take my packs apart tonight. Can anyone help me with their placement?

Where is the best place to put these clamps. I have a set of stock XJ leafs with a full-lenght AAL. My choices seem to be: on the shortest leaf (bottom leaf) or all the way at the mounting ends of my springs.

My springs never had these types of clamps on them. I will have to drill the holes. I'd consider JB welding them on there but damn that is hackish.

A counter sunk screw goes into the spring, minimizing the amount of bolt sticking up. The clamp goes on the bottom of the lowest leaf spring.

Thanks for the info, Goatman. I guess the bottom line is that the bolt on leave clamps will do more good than harm. Are there any down sides to a bolt on type clamp?

TTT

That's what I'd like to do exactly. So they WILL help flex? I've got a few different answers so far. You guys fight to the death and I'll check back later and see who the victor is.

XJ leaves are 2.5" wide. I saw the homebrew clamps but I don't have a shop to work out of. I paid ~35 shipped for 4 clamps. It looks like they won't help me flex or ride better, huh...

To clarify, I have the bottom clamps. I'm going to keep my leaf spring setup now since I want to maintain good handling and acceptable trail performance. This Jeep does mainly towing (ATV/SXS) and some light offroading. I occasionally go for a challenging offroad cruise in it. I just...

I picked up a set of these the other day and wondered if they would be useful on my 99XJ. It has stock rear leafs that have a full length AAL added to them. I'll put them in if I can get better flex or ride quality out of them.

Can anyone tell me where the grounds and fuses that control the cluster are located?

I put a set of 6.5" Sony Xplod speakers in it and they perfectly and sound great.

Update: I went to a JY and got another cluster. It didn't solve my problem. I could be bad, but I'd like to explore other avenues also. Can anyone tell me where the grounds are for the cluster and which fuses operate it? Also, give me a quick how to on cleaning all the contacts. The ones...

The guages don't work. Everything else is just fine.
