Grigg,

I am tempted to order one of these and play around with it.

I laid their measurements out on paper and it would seem to be made for 2-1/2" springs, but I am wondering about a 1 pc. CAPTURED shim to make up the side widths. Like an upside down "U" that would wrap down over the top of the spring pack and be held down by the ubolts. Essentially a top "saddle"

OR

Slice it down the center and remove the material to make it fit a 2" spring. This part is advertised as cast STEEL and from what I have read should be able to be welded back together like any other steel part as long as it is preheated and slow cooled, just to prevent warping.
