Part #: 4951000
This kit is made up of Front Lower Retainer Kit (PN: 4951300) and Rear Upper Retainer Kit (PN: 4951400). Those of us that wheel regularly have probably seen a coils spring end up laying on the side of the road because our suspension cycled a lot further than the extent of the spring and pop, clang.... there goes the spring. This can be a real pain and dangerous to try and reinstall a spring on the trail. Better to keep them where we put them. The front typically has bump stops on the bottom spring perch and the long bump stop cup on the top, so having a front come out isn't as common as the back. Still they can get free of the lower perch and get tangled up in the ABS lines, brake lines and steering gear located up front. The old TJ's had a spring clip installed up there that later got removed to save a few bucks in assembly costs. The rears only sit over a small nub on the rear axle and push up against the top spring bucket, nothing to really keep them in.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
