If I use coil spring retainers on the top and bottom of the springs will I need limiting straps?I just dont want to stretchout my springs and wear them out prematurly but I can make retainers for free or straps for 50 bucks.thanks
 
retaining the springs at both ends can weaken them quickly if they are made to pull far beyond their static height...

Hell, I've seen about $10 in cable and eyes work god as a limiting strap.. used it myself for several years.
 
Yea thats what I was thinking.I used chains before but it was pretty harsh jolt when it limited out.I guess I will stop being a cheap ass and come off the cash for the straps.thanks
