, but it wasn't when a spring lost its seat and took out the brake line on a friend's TJ when he had to flex his suspension on a lonely pile of rocks 50 miles from civilization. It took me 4 hours to tow him back to civilization in 110 deg heat.

And don't check things. i still have stock stops and retainers, however I have fully flexed mine to inspect lines/spring/ wiring, etc. Be a bad time to lose a brake line! (like any isnt a bad time!)

You can definitely lose a spring at full droop with a modified setup. Spring retainers are your friend...or limiting straps once you start getting into really big travel.

Limiting straps will not only help keep you from loosing a spring and tearing a break line/ abs wire but it will also save your shocks from being over extended and break or leak.
