Replacement leaf spring clamps

If you want your springs to flex to their maximum,youll need to use the "open" style.You can easily make them,attaching them is alot harder!
 
I just finished the S-10 lift myself. I made my own spring clamps using 1" strap steel. I cut the straps 7" long and bent them to fit around the leaf pack. Then I drilled 3/8 holes near the ends so that I could just barely slide a grade 8 bolt through on the top side of the pack. Then I tightened the bolts down just tight enough that the clamps didnt move, but not too tight.

Just yet another idea for ya out there.
As a matter of fact, I got the idea from a local 4X4 shop, then that idea was re-enforced when I found a write up on the S-10 leaf pack build. (Sorry, I can't remember the exact address to the write-up. Maybe someone else knows off the top of their head?)

Good luck!
