Yes, I'll be clamping the leafs, but have not decided on the clamps
yet as I have two different sets of clamps. The shocks are just Napa
gas heavy duty shocks for now. The Gremlin is a 73 that came stock
with the V-8 Auto. air cond. P.S. I'll post pics as soon as I get
home at 3:30. I'll also post the part number of the Rancho add aleaf
that I put in which I thought was a perfect fit. ***One more note
about the installation is that when you mount the forward end of the
spring back into the frame mount, you need to put a fender washer in
between the spring (inboard side) and the frame monut so as to take
up excess side to side movement and to make sure that the Caltrac
slapper device does not move to the indoard side and scrape on the
frame. I'll try take a pic of that close tolerence also. Bob in MN.
