If you really put that LT kit to work articulating, you're going to want the spring retainers. There's a LOT of travel there for a 3 inch lift.

Yup...but a one inch plastic "spring guide" is no substitute for spring retainer clips. Comparing those pucks to retainer clips is like comparing a come-a-long to a winch.
By not being willing to spend the $75 or $100 dollars on spring retainer clips, you may be increasing your total lift height to about 5 inches. Most people that are putting that kind of lift on rigs end up with:
-2 new driveshafts
-8 new control arms
-significant changes to drag link or pitman arm
-2 new track bars
All of these things are needed to keep you steering geometry, road manners, pinion angle, and driveline issues under control.

I go 4" of lift from the ome hd springs and the nirto sport shocks. If you go that high get ready for some drivshafts, trackbars, and control arms. I would say that the pucks are not needed and most of us make the mistake of getting the hd springs over the light or med ones. The hd is for carrying more weight in the vehicle or towing heavier loads it dosnt mean they are tougher.
