ordered skyjacker springs from ORD, the rears only have one spring clamp. Is this right ?

The fronts have 2 clamps.

Plan to call ORD tomorrow but curious
 
My factory rear 52's only have one clamp, on the forward side of the spring. I don't think it's anything to worry about. Some guys will even open them up for more flex.
 
Ok, thanks. Does it matter which side clamp on ? Or are these installed one way only? Never replaced springs before
 
That is correctly observed.
52" springs are symmetrical.
I would mount them with the clamp to the front.
That helps the pinion pointing up at extreme droop.
