U-bolt installation on an 8 3/4 housing

I bead blasted them and they look fine, and yes they would work either way, so I'll just put them all in the same way. At least they don't hang down an inch and a half like the aftermarket ones that came with the MP kit to move the springs in 3/4 of an inch on each side. Those bolts are round at the top and so all the pressure is on a very narrow band around the housing.

Thanks to all for the input!
