Yep, I currently have them. I am getting ready to replace them with a 1/2 inch teraflex cone spacer. The Currie Coil Spring retainer can act as a limiter putting all the weight of the axel on the spring, streching it further than it should be. The cone spacer will guide the spring back into its perch if it dislodges.

Yeah, I had them too. They worked great but were a pain in the ass to install. I switched to teraflex 1" spacers with the cone since I needed another inch and used lower retainers. The upper retainers don't work with spacers and like 07bluejk said I think it's better to not stretch them.

Sound like you're shocks are not matched to the lift.
