Superlift sells them... Or hell just make 'em yourself with some 3/16" strip steel.

I used the stock ones.
 
What stock ones? :icon_confused:


You mean F-150 ones?
 
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.
 
4x4 junkie, what's that little black shock looking thing in your pic of the coil retainers? It looks stock

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.
 
I broke my hose clamp thanksgiving weekend. They did hold up for 8 years though. I'm gonna make some like junkie's here before I go out again.
