Abstract
A suspension system includes a primary structural support such as an axle beam. To dampen movement of the beam, a leaf spring is attached to longitudinal mainframes which extend parallel to a vehicle centerline. A bracket assembly attaches the beam to the leaf springs by sandwiching the leaf spring therebetween. The bracket assembly also provides a support and mount for an air bag and a shock.
