How many of these are there on each pack? Looking for stock 52" spring packs mostly.

There is one at each end. The ones on my factory springs were just bent over the top of the leaf pack and did not have a bolt through it like the pic you posted.
 
most stock 52" springs are 3-7 leafs per pack plus overload.

and most any spring on old school stuff like we play with is 1 spring clamp per end.

and the bolt together style like picured = better.
the clamp bend over style is cheeper and limits flex .
 
I'm not to worried about spring flex as I'm more concerned with my springs wrapping under load when I take off from a dead stop.
 
thay are not ment for spring wrap.

only to keep the leafs from fanning out.

the bend over style limits flex like i said. but also makes a stiffer ride.

the bolt on style like you have in the pic flexes better and rides better.
 
I don't even run those anymore, I removed the bolt and bent them out so that they will still keep the leaves in line but won't inhibit flex.

Having said that, my rear flexes more than the front so I needed as much flex as I can get from the front and running the overload helps a lot (though mine is low enough that it sits on the overloads at ride height).
