Check with TG02Z71 and see if he is still making spring clamps. He made up some nice ones.

Here is a pic of the clamps.

Best place to clamp is the very front of the overload leaf clamping it to the main spring pack. It'll lower it 1/4 to 1/2 in.

Other than lowering the rear a bit, is there any other benefit to having the spring clamps installed?
