would it be bad to weld to the top of my rear springs? I can rig up my ebrake setup if i can just weld a 1 inch by the width of the spring pack piece of metal to it. would it weaken anything?

welding to the spring?

If it's the main leaf...DO NOT touch it with a welder. I wouldn't weld on any of the leafs though. Welding would seriously weaken the spring...basically wouldn't be a spring anymore right were the weld was.

could you possible make a braket that slides over the Ubolt and is held on clamped between the nut and the spring plate? Not sure what you are thinking of but that is close to the spring and should give it enough distance to allow for proper movement of the arm.

I would weld on any leaf other than the main leaf, but only at the end. Anything that supports a load, I would just leave alone. I'd look into the clamp setup like he mentioned. I'd like to see a drawing of what you're brewing for an e-brake though.
