Default wolfe adjustable rear spring mount

I picked up a pair of these along with the 10" qa1 springs. Im looking to install them but I am having a problem figuring out how they mount and what needs to be cut out to make them work. I see that they are marked for the driver and passenger side but still no the less dont see how they weld in. Also without some type of a jam nut on top what's to stop them from turning? Any pics or tips on the install is appreciated.

Check out guys that have done mini tubs. If your mounting them on the rear end you will need to cut out the old upper spring mount and weld a tube in to center the smaller spring. That is a what I am doing right now on my car. Most guys seem to cut out the upper spring mount and weld the adjusted to the frame. Then no lower modifications are needed. This some what of an involved install.

Also the nut won't spin when the cars weight is on it.

I think we might just put them on the axle for ease of adjustment. Up in the spring pocket seems like it would be a pain in the ***.

That's what I think too but majority of people I see put them on top.
