Not trying to hi-jack, but a couple of questions on Cal tracs. I saw where there are ones for flip & not flipped axle. How do the non-flipped bolt on? Do they mount like all the others (remove the square plate,bolt on new bracket) but are ABOVE the spring? The picture shows them looking just like all the rest (below the spring) Just courious. Thanks, Lorne

Picture is generic.  I don't have a flipped version to take a pic of.
All are mounted BELOW the axle.  On flipped you just replace the lower mounting plate.

Chris, I've seen the Cal Tracs before & understand how the flipped ones would work (the same as all of the cars,as you said "you replace the lower plate") How do the non-flipped ones go on? Are they using something like square top u-bolts across the spring & a pad with a u type saddle to go against the axle tube with the "lever arm" on it? Just curious, Thanks, Lorne

Yes, I think I have one I can show you, but it craddles the axle tube.
