Abstract
A clamp arrangement is utilized to secure a suspension element to an axle. The clamp arrangement includes a pair of spaced clamp halves that are tightened to cam a pair of holding frame elements together and hold the suspension element to the axle. Preferably, a pair of clamp halves is positioned on each side of the axle such that they do not take space beneath the axle. In this manner, ground clearance is increased over the prior art.
