    Nowhere in the instructions is there information on which is the front and back end of the leaf springs.

    Can anyone shed light on this?

    It seemed to be centered.

    This is called a military wrap:

    It goes towards the front of the vehicle.

    The rear won’t have that double wrap on the bushing hole.

    gonna double check orientation per above posts

    I imagine even with military wrap forward, diamond cut rear, 2 brackets at front, 1 bracket rear

    they may still be swappable left to right

    has anyone ever had to mess with it such as evening left to wide ride height?

    mine are installed with the little clamps bolts from the inside going out
    Which in some parts looks more necessary to clear
    Nuts and studs on outside

    noticed this is an issue as one of them is rubbing into the e brake cable sheathing.
    Thinking about flipping that one the other way, rather than shorten stud with grinder.

    mine are like this pic
    Except sticker deteriorated

    But opposite of this pic…

    (regarding c shaped clamp hardware facing direction)

    I wonder if the left to right potential swappability even matters…

    ^Icon sells the leaf packs as singles. They are the same P/N left and right.

    On the driver side leaf pack, flip the retainer bolts so the bolt head, not bolt tip, faces the fuel tank.

    they're all like that; bolt heads on the inside
    stud protrudes at outside

    it's just one of them, pass side, that stud rubs the e-brake sheathing
    might just flip that single one since there's no fuel tank to worry about there
