Currie also make a set of JK rear spring retainers. This kit will do the top and bottom of the spring.

The Teraflex rear coil spacers get pushed up into a hole on the bottom of the tub. They stay in place and would not move around when the spring is not under tension. It guides the spring right hack into place perfectly. I use these with the teraflex lower spring retainers and they work great.

How in heaven did you get the washer and the nut under the spring mount? I have looked but it seems there is not enough room under the spring mount. Could it be that they have sagged?

Teraflex provides a special wrench that holds the nut through that small slit between the axle housing and the spring perch. There is no washer under there.

does that work for the JKS retainer as well? Mines are collecting dust. Where did you get this?

It might--that would depend on the size of the nut that JKS uses. The TF tool is just a bent piece of sheet metal with a hexagonal cut-out to hold the nut. You place the nut into it (the nut is flanged so it doesn't fall through) and slip the tool and nut through the slit. Insert the bolt through the top and screw it down. Makes short work of installing the retainer. Anyone who has installed a TF spring lift may have saved their tool--I know I did, if I could ever find it again. LOL.
