Default Leaf spring clamps

I have the Mopar Chassis manual and they mention using spring clamps that you can purchase from Mopar Performance. My question is, how far fron the front spring eye do you mount the clamps as there are no dimensions in the manual. And also is it worth it? Will they tighten the spring up enough to notice on my 72 swinger? Who knows?

We have no clamps on the back and 2 up front for safety. It is something that you have to play with and see if it works for you. Some people say with the back un-clamped they notice the car wanting to wonder a lil bit on the big end. But then they add clamps and the car picks up a little bit but their 60' drops off at the same time. We have noticed the Dart towards the end of the season wanted to get a little wild on the big end. So first thing this year we are going to try adding clamps and see what happens. Have seen it go both ways for a lot of different people.
