what didja do then? have a volunteer hold it in place while you bounced up the rock, or did you replace it after the run?

I picture some three wheel :grinpimp:motion for a bit till you got to a flat spot to safely put the spring back:eek:
 
No it had to be put back in while axle was drooped. My helpful friend put it back in, once seated on the bottom the spring bumpstop holds it in place until I could back up some. It's definitely high on my list to fix.
Obviously not very safe.
Anyone found a good way to retain their springs?

you can either weld a little lock tab on the spring perch to hold it in place (on the bottom perch) or use limiting straps, or get shorter shocks. :steer:
 
i used the shocks in my old sami as limiting straps, shocks were just longer then my break lines so it worked pretty good.

ive heard it's not the best method but it works
 
You don't need people standing on your bumper in a flex spot with more restricted and balanced travel. "Flex" is not an independent variable.

But it does make for cool pics :beer::clap:
 
Used to do that for traction (before they had lockers), to put weight on the spinning wheel. But, according to his sig line he's got an Aussie and an ARB so, - WTF - who knows? Maybe that's the only place they'd let him ride!

He drives a Jeep he's not placing one foot in my cruiser. I was hoping I could catapult him off the back:)

:lol: Well said! Of course, if you did let him ride, he would catch the addiction and throw rocks at his heep!:hillbilly:
EDIT: I like the color of your 80(same as mine), 'cept you got the wrong year! If you had a '94 you wouldn't have springs trying to escape! LOL

or just run a strap through the hole in the center of the bottom spring pearch - and tie the spring down - I did it last January as a stop gap measure in Texas and have ended up never changing it cause it works!
 
Not super wild but a lot of fun. This was at Hollister, Ca.
