thanks for the pic. I see you have yours mounted "flat" to the frame. I had heard that you may want to mount them a little nose down in the front, but if you say yours work well, then I guess it isn't that critical. I suppose the main thing is just the fact that the spring stays on the same plane as it works back and forth, instead of on an arch like the shackles. did you notice any real benifit from them? more consistent 60' times, or better 60' times? theory is that they keep constant down pressure on the tire instead of varying pressure the way a shackle does as it goes back and forth past 90 degrees during their arch swing. makes a little sense, but people who have tried them are more reliable than theory in my book. thanks again.
