Re: leaf spring clamps
The spring clamps will help with the shaft to floorboard issue. On one of my first runs down the strip, I noticed that the car was 'settling' at the big end - enough for the shaft to just lightly rub the floor board. Stronger springs, some clamps, some wedges, or a snubber would all work.

Re: leaf spring clamps
Like M said, the clamps should help subdue axle wrapup, and keep the floor safe...if the front portion of the leafs can't bend/seperate, then the axle itself can't move...unless it moves within the u-bolts!

Re: leaf spring clamps
Ordered the clamps and will have my local steel guy fashion me up some DH plates, anybody running a different snubber, something that would not "allow" the diff/d.shaft to travel up to the floorboards.? Thanks again for the help
