2014 silverado leaf spring install/ vibration

[Josh50]

If the dealer cant help me i will try the leaf spring clamp fix to try and stop the vibration issue My question is do i use 4 clamps 2 behind rear axle and 2 in front. i have seen some people post the use 2 in front of the rear axle only. also how tight do i get the clamps i have seen some people say the tighten only until the top two springs touch , im just looking for a little help if anyone can steer me in the right direction.

I may be wrong but I think a member on here named "FONDUPOT" did this as well. Sorry if I have the wrong member. My search mojo isn't too good this morning. Either way he could most likely help.

I installed then 5" in front of the axle and nothing in the rear since I've heard that has hurt ride quality.

 

The clamps definitely made my '15 crew cab standard bed drive smoother. I removed and reinstalled them to verify this.

thanks arizonapatriot for the reply. did you tighten the clamp bolts until jam tight. i have heard or see on another post that someone tightened them only until the top two leaf springs touched but i dont know how you would do this unless you put locktite on the bolts if you dont torrqe the bolts all the way down.
