    Mav...there is a hole.

    Its about the size of a nickel.....I run coil retainers through it.


    There is also clearance fore and aft of the seat above the axle.

    You could always get 919 coil springs and chop em' shorter. That's what I did to reduce lift but keep the stiffer springs. The shorter 919s work great but I need retainers to keep them seated on the trails.

    On that note...

    Do you have the retainers from indy and if so, how well do they work? I'm thinking about ordering a set today.

    ...a modified coil restraining system.

    And by "modified coil restraining system" I mean.....

    ...big arse ZIP TIES!

    Obviously not from Indy...and they work GREAT!
    (Cheap too... )

    I spat a coil out the back a few years ago, and this was a 'field fix'...

    ...that has never needed upgrading

    I was just thinking... $40 for a piece of bent metal. Zip ties are definitely a cheaper alternative.

    I have a couple of them on the bottom of each coil.....
    .....and they do the job just fine.

    And as you say..$40...or $0.40.
