A pair of shackle supports, one for each spring, are affixed the frame at the frame rear portion. A pair of front spring supports, one for each spring are affixed a lower flange of the frame vertically above a forward end of the spring. Each front spring support comprises an upper wall affixed a lower flange of the frame side member, an inner edge aligned with an inner edge of the shackle support integral with the upper wall, an outer edge spaced outward from the frame aligned with an outer edge of the shackle support integral with the upper wall, the inner and outer walls extending downward a distance parallel to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. A forward end of the spring is positioned between the inner and outer walls and pivotally attached thereto. A pair of opposed shackle links interconnect a rear end of the spring to the shackle supports.
