Leaf spring "Clamps"

[azdesertrhino]

I'm doing a 3" lift on my XJ and it has add a leaf for the rear. Started a few days ago but couldn't get back to it until this evening. Now this dumb A.$ can't find the 2 straps that go around the leaf springs after I put in the extra leaf. :mad: Anyone know if these can be purchased somewhere like Autozone or ? I'm still trying to figure out where I put them but if I don't find them I'm going to have to figure something out tomorrow.

Thanks,

have any flat stalk? make your own. 1/8" should do the trick maybe a bit thinner get some bolts do some bending and some drillin and your set.

Thanks for the input. Found out they are a stock item at Autozone. Just got back from picking up a set. Your idea would work though.

thanks, :D

thats (make your own) what I and Ron just did for my Waggy XJ. My custom springs articulated great w/o straps, but was a ***** when they came apart and ate up a tire. 1" wide flat stock strap bent into "U" (long enough to be 1" thicker than spring) with cross pin at top (held in place by countersunk screw in/through leaf)
