Default Spring question

Is there anyway to keep my Passenger side coil spring from spinning out of its pocket? I have a 09 X with Teraflex 2.5" coil lift and after I trailride that spring is always out of its perch. I did not know if there is some type of clamp or restraint available.

Thanks

Front or back?

What shocks do you have? Are they for a larger lift?

I haven't had this problem (yet). I have received my Teraflex 2.5 lift, but have not installed it yet. (this weekends project).

Found this on Quadratec: http://www.quadratec.com/products/16156_100.htm

I have the Teraflex 9550 shocks that came with the lift. I do wheel disconnected and apparently flexing quite a bit.


I wounder if those clips have to be welded.

Thanks for the replies

Teraflex has some new spring holders on their website.

I dont have that problem on the JK.
HOWEVER
I did on my TJ. I got grade 8 U-bolts, drilled down through the perch. I havent looked at the perches on the jk to see if that set up would work. Its a cost effective and simple fix if it does though.
Also limit straps would help to save you from topping out your shocks.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like the clips on Teraflex site will fix the issue.
