I was getting really tired of my coils coming out of the buckets at almost full drop so I thought I'd fix the problem. Used some 0.80" thick roll cage tubing and brought it down about 6".

Heres the pic.

Nice. I have always wanted to do something like that since my springs pop out a lot as well.
 






I think I might half to get back in there and cut out those stupid little teeth on the buckets though. The coil gets caught on a few teeth every once in awhile.
 






Where are your J-clips? That would've kept them in too...
 






I tried some J-clips but it limited my travel alittle to much for my liking. Right now the only thing stopping my downward travel is the stupid radius arms. But thats ok cause at full drop the passenger side axle shaft starts to bined quite abit.
