I asked this question a while back & got nothing! Since I've been told u don't want to take that bolt that keeps them together! Ur best bet is to go with a shackle relocation bracket or the teraflex revolver shackle!

You can remove the clamps. But your leaves may fan out. If you move the clamps closer to the center you will get a little more flex.

mine don't have any clamps, bolts or anything. they were removed, and sway bars are gone. my does ok, pretty loose in the curves also. wouldn't recommend for a daily driver, mine is for wheeling only and a quick ride up the road.

going in a sharp curve it take a quick whip to level the body back up
