A spring support for a clevis or a pipe in which a main central bolt and two additional auxiliary bolts on opposite sides thereof are used to prestress the spring, wherein tightening of nuts on the auxiliary bolts raise an operative member causing an initial compression of the spring, and subsequent tightening of the nut on the main bolt completes the compression of the spring and also relieves the spring pressure on the auxiliary bolts to thereby facilitate their removal, both of the aforesaid spring compressions being achieved without any change in the horizontal supported position of the pipe.
