Where to get leaf spring clamps??

Fred85 · Jan 17, 2007

Or "rebound clips" as i've seen them called.....i want the thin metal kind that came on the stock packs

parts stores only carry the u-bolt kind

bds is the only company i've seen online that have them, they want $8 for two clamps

anyone else know of a place to get them???

Fred,
I have purchased them at my Sprig & frame repair shop for $2 each they also had teflon pads to go between each leaf spring which made them much quieter.

we have a spring place here in town that all that stuff can come from. Salina Spring in Salina, KS, you might look them up.

Bringing this one back up.... My slightly used AAL kit did not come with leaf spring clamps, are they necessary? I'm talking about the little clamps that don't go around the axle but only on the leaf springs themselves.

its a good idea to run clamps on the leaves... it keeps em aligned. wouldnt want a stray leaf, or that new add a leaf rubbing your gas tank or tires would ya?

they're not likely to spread out that far since the u-bolts holding the spring to the axle will stop them..

most ppl only use a clamp on the front half of the leaves (this allows for better flex)

Thanks guys, I'll measure width of the springs before I order.
