I have seen enough springs come loose on trails to think about some added protection of keeping the springs in place. The JK's don't have much for a spring pad in the back on either the upper or lower position. I do have the proper length shocks that shouldn't really make the spring coming out an issue, but a little extra precaution is sometimes worth it.

Needed:
1/4" Allen Wrench
5/8" Combo Wrench
Tape
They come neatly packaged, not much really there, a big aluminum washer (machined spring retainer), a allen head bolt, washer and nut make up each side.
Seperate out each side. You should have a bolt, washer, and nut along with the large spring retainer.
Slide the spring retainer into the spring and position it over the hole in the center of the spring pad. Insert the bolt through the center of the retainer and the spring pad
Tape the washer and nut to the 5/8 inch combo wrench and slide it up into bottom of the spring pad. This can be very frustrating to do. Patients is required in figureing out exactly what angle you need to get everything started.
Using a 1/4 inch allen wrench tighten down the allen head bolt.
