Here is their description

ADJUSTABLE LEAF SPRING PADS



These leaf spring pads are used when installing a new rear end housing or when relocating your leaf springs to accommodate a larger rear tire. The steel adjustable leaf spring pads clamp to any 3" axle tube. Simply locate and center the axle housing, set the pinion angle and leaf spring positions, and then clamp the spring pads in place. We recommend you permanently weld the spring pads in place after you set the pinion angle. The spring pads are compatible with 2-1/2" wide leaf springs.



If these aren't what you are talking about - SORRY for the interruption.
Yes that is them and THEY USED to say they could be bolted on .. trust me i can scan the instructions if you like they did say that permanent welding was not required that you could simply torque the four axle tube clamp bolts to 150 foot pounds and have since been changed.

This was a two year + old set the owner had sitting on a shelf for a long time.

I put this warning up for people who might have the old instructions and a old set of them.
