Hey LoveMonkey...

quick question..I've been told not to install quick disconnects for my TF 2.5" coil lift. I was informed that there is a possibility that the spring might pop out while at full flex. Have you heard of anything similar, or is there another install necessary to prevent the springs from popping out?

I've never heard that, but maybe the other guys will know. I have a 2.5" TF BB so different than a coil lift, right? I've talked to a lot of people about these before getting them, so hopefully there won't be any problems.

You should extend your upper bump stops. Or you will dislodge a spring. I did it not once but twice!
