Stock suspension drag racers step in please.
this isn't my car but here you go.
the only thing you do is clamp at the end of each leaf in front of the axle.
the only difference in mine from the photo is that I didn't clamp the short leaf that he is pointing at. in my opinion that leaf is so short it can not distort. now, maybe I am missing the boat, and should have done that leaf. you can try it both ways.
also, I put a clamp right up against the factory clamp where he did not.

these are the clamps that I use. you can get them from advance auto parts. they make 2 1/2'' and 3'' clamps. you want the 2 1/2''. you can see that the shoulder on the clamp is long after the threads stop. what I done was took a tap and run it over the shoulders so that I would not run out of thread before the clamp got tight. I also marked the clamps and cut off the excess threads after I tightend them up. works like a charm.
