    All the ones I've seen look like they are spot welded on.

    There is a set of clamps you can get at napa that are like for fixing broken leaf springs. I saw people on POR using them and they had them clamped on the spring pack, and its a storage place till you need one. I'll find out more lata after class.

    I got some from autozone. They're just 2 plates that smash together with a u-bolt. Not sure where to get factory style ones.

    What kind of pads....maxxi?
    Here is the link on POR talking about them...spring clamps from autozone or summit, made for being a trailfix for broke springs but do the same thing.
