Lf spring poping out

[badmts]

ok my 94 b4000 is great fun with unknown lift and 33-1250-15 mudders but about 10 days ago my LF coil came out on the trail -now at the time I was going too fast and was getting air /showing off etc.. well i heard the rubbing and came to a halt -luckily i was with a tech from the shop and 15 mins later we were back on the trail,finished wheelin and went home,then it came out again afew days later and again 2 days ago and again today while bymyself- i actually put it back in by myself,man was i lucky! any ideas on why it is only the LF and it seems to be getting worse?

I find the LF side seems to drop more when flexed as there is more weight on that beam as the diff is bolted to it.

Either add J clips or a hose clamp around the coil and bucket.

My lf came out a lot. I got a small u bolt frome lowes and didn't even have to drill. It had a flat metal piece that bent to shape when I tightened the nuts. 2 bux and problem solved

I was using 1/2 inch wide zip ties to hold the coils into my '92 Ranger Never had a problem again

The spring popped out on our X a few times. Turns out the fingers in the middle that help hold it got bent the first time it popped out and from then on it was much easier to get out.

I've pushed (3 lbs sledge) the fingers back and added a piece of strap steel as a j-clip and no issues since then.
