Re: Front Spring Stop??

Its is because the steering linkage is on that side. I don't know why some trucks got them and some didn't. The idea is that if the leaf spring broke, the device on the back back of the shackle would "catch" it, thus keeping the axle in place, thus keeping steering somewhat intact.
