Leaf Alingment Clamps?

[LLSTRIKES96]

Does anyone know where I can find leaf alingment clamps? My friend is having problems of his leafs getting crooked on the trail and I'm about to add leafs myself so I was just looking for a fix. Anybody have experience with this? Thanks in advance.

at autozone I picked up some leaf-spring bolts and had them welded to the bottom leaf. They've worked for about a year and a half now, I'll take some pictures if I get a chance sometime.

My bottom leaf on both sides keep kicking out sideways. I can't think of a way to keep this fixed.

I haven't forgotten about this I swear . I'll get some pics tonight. I forget what these are called at autozone, maybe called leaf spring clamps? I think I may actually still have the package at home, as I still have the bolts and the big ol brackets... I'll have to see

Matt, Why not just herculine your leaf pack together since you have that gallon still and send him your clamps
LOL

ok, the kit is called, funny enough, a "leaf spring clamp kit", sells at autozone, comes with 4... I don't know what I did with the other 2 but I can't find em... I've also seen a similar package that is sold by one or twos that sells at checker. The leaf spring clamp kit is what your looking for though. It comes with a bar that goes over the leaf itself and nuts of course, but I chose not to use them and chose to weld it to the bottom leaf instead. By the way, notice the herculiner job in the second shot? Beauty aint it?

That looks like it would do the trick! Thanks a bunch
(And yeah the Herculiner looks great. Is that on your frame?)

 

[mattadams]

yeah I herculined part of my frame . Not sure how long it'll last, since we didn't prep or really even clean off first... but it was a good way to use up some herculiner .

Matt.
Are do I see a rear sway bar on Vegas still? That was the first thing I ditched with the lift and it still travels the same at 70 mph
