Correction wedges come with the rk kit. Ive read a lot of guys doing the hose clamp thing on the lower part.

 

Make sure the correction wedges are turned the right way and seated properly. You can also add Teraflex 1/2" spacers on the top of the springs which have the built-in spring retainers. Lower spring retainers are also an option and many companies offer them. Your springs shouldn't come out when fully drooped if the lift is installed correctly.

 

Ive read on this website a lot of times where guys have lost rear springs on the trail, thats why they used lower retainers or hose clamps. If your shocks have more droop then the springs how would they not come out if nothing is there to hold them. I can jack my jeep up from the frame right now to give the same affect and pull my rear springs or front springs out. I mean thats how you replace them.

The wedges are in correctly to. Fat part to the rear. I need to try a flex again and see if it happens again. its possible that in the beginning i didnt have the upper seated when i sat the jeep back down.

 

When your springs fall out of their perches, it's usually because your shocks are too long. The shocks are what holds the springs in while flexing to full extension. the solution to this is to: use shorter shocks, use a higher lift, or use spring retainers.

 

Yah thats what ive learned so far. Other fellas are telling me the lift is installed wrong. I think lower spring retainers or hose clamps will do me just fine.

 

Ever considered limiting straps?

 

Just a heads up on the spring retainers. They'll work fine as long as your shocks are only a little too long (0-2 inches est.) Any longer than that and the spring retainers will cause your springs to over stretch and damage your springs. It's all about balance.

 

They shouldnt since just the bottom will be secure. the top is free to roam!



and i havent looked into limitting straps as of yet
