I thought the load was more compression, especially for drag situations?
Its more of a sheer load on the front hanger, although it may be slightly compressive for the top two hanger studs and slightly expansive on the bottom two studs.
If you look at housing rotation on a launch, this pulls the front spring segment up, which pulls the spring eye up, which pulls the mounting bracket up, and because the mopar hanger is not symetrical, it pulls on the bottom studs and pushes on the top studs.
If you use a Cal-trac type device, it resists compressive loading, but this is due to the housing rotation around the axle that would compress anything mounted under the axle centerline.
The reinforcing plates are not a bad addition if you want them.

I would *think* there is quite some more compression and forward 'push' to this area, in addition to an upward force. As after 'all' the things have happened like TC@HP2 has mentioned above, finally the rear axle/leafsprings start pushing the entire weight of the car forward.

But to be accurate, the braking forces will never equal acceleration forces in this location.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
