You know what? I was thinking of an F150! Just took a look at my B2 and it doesn't have them at all. I replaced both shock/spring towers an a customers F150 around the same time I installed the lift on my B2. Must have got them mixed up.

I use a hose clamp. I've never had one break on me flexing the suspension. It may look loose in the photo, but that is just the excess material wrapping back around. It's a cheap, simple, and effective solution.

I also used hose clamps, had coils coming out left and right when I first lifted the truck. Never had an issue after that. It doesn't take much to keep them in place. Hose clamps are the shit for a lot of things.
