They are bolted onto the mount for the front radius arm on patrols/cruiser/bunderas/rover (all with front coil springs obviously) and lower the mount point to both correct for castor and flatten the arms out which are affected by the installation of taller springs.

Have a search on the superior engineering website and there is a few pics IIRC.
Cheers,
Dan.
