Default Rock Krawler spring retainers

Need to install my spring retainers but no place really looks quite right to mount them. Could someone please post up a pic of theirs installed!!!! I think I am just making it too difficult....

Thanks!!!

Not my pic, I'm running a PR44 and it isn't setup the same way or I'd take more pictures to show you. You should have a flat area by each spring perch to attach the retainer clip.

Some coils will sit differently than others as well. They can be mounted on the front side or back side of the coil spring bucket. Really, it is where ever you can fit them, but preferably where the coil spring windings end...

Thanks all, the passenger side has the small area on the side to mount the retainer to. However the driver side does not have the same spot.

I have the RK retainers on the front as part of their 3.5 lift. I'll snap a shot this morning and post it. I remember that one of them was very hard to get to grab the spring, since it wouldn't fit over the lower coil. It had to be "coerced" into place with a BFH.
