Im just retaining the springs on the back, thats what all the rock crawler guys do, none of that crappy dislocating spring system. The x-eng one does look good, but ill stick to what I have for the moment

DONT weld the springs, make a retainer. And your spring dislocates, you want a retainer at the top as well as the bottom
