In my case I had no problems until I made up some lowering mounts for my Rear shocks and as can be seen from the picture when I tested the Flex I dislocated the Spring.I decided to make some Dislocation cones and ( second picture) and mounted them on the bottom and fastened the upper spring to the perch. Now on the odd occasion they disconnect ,the spring slides relatively smoothly back onto its seat.

Do I prefer this to having the Springs retained top and Bottom.

I honestly have not decided yet. Still playing around with it but making the rear cones was a somewhat simple task and it does,nt involve to much time or $$$. But I can say that the dislocated wheel does still have traction from my limited experience with it. ( Please i know the welds are atrocious I was in a bit of a rush to see how the cones would work)
