Got the same ones generaly the side with the single has the pressed in bushing which would go to the frame and the double to the shackle side but it really doesnt matter I put them on in reverse to to get the extra 1/2" pin not center on the 5 pack rear
at least they weren't on mine.:flipoff2:

Last weekend at Moab I noticed that Chris V's Rancho lifted Wrangler springs have (sortof) military wraps - the 2nd leaf comes around the end of the main leaf, but does not completely encompass it.

Rucicon Express wranglers have the military wrap also...

Military wrap goes on the frame mount end! It's there for safety, if the main leaf breaks you don't loose control of your axle.... :rasta:

The military wrap also helps some with axle wrap. When the axle torques, it has to bend two full leafs instead of just one. It's still possible to bend both (I've done it), but it sure helps... :D
