Default Leaf spring clamp install

On my quest to gain better traction i found that leafspring clamps can help quite a bit for wheel hop/tire spin. Found these on amazon for less than $30 bucks and takes about 15min to install. By replacing the front and removing the rear it will supposedly help with weight transfer.

tools needed:


Start to pry the tab off on the bottom.


Almost off.


Stock vs. Aftermarket


Line it up.


Tighten down. You can see the difference in the stock and new ones in the way the spring is compressed.
