Brian Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 The way I understand the difference between the camelback and noncamelback suspensions is this. Someone correct me if I am wrong. On the camelback suspension the center point where the u-bolts attach is higher than the points on the ends where the anchor pins fasten to the spring hangers, giving it a look that resembles the hump on a camels back? On a noncamelback suspension the center points where the u-bolts fasten is lower than the ends where the anchor pins attach to the spring hangers. On your exhaust question I think the main difference between wether a truck was built with horizontal or vertical exhaust most likely depends on how it was speced, when it was built but could have been changed at a later time. Hope this helps you out. Block.The way I understand the difference between the camelback and noncamelback suspensions is this. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
