New heavy duty, spring conforming, lower coil retainer cups.
Sold as a set consisting of two coil cups with mounting hardware.
The base of these cups are 1/4" thick steel formed with a unique spiral ramp shape to better conform to the bottom of the coil spring, much like that of the stock spring cup but with added strength and features.
The sides are made from 1/8" steel with slots along the bottom to allow for drainage and are fully welded on both sides.
One mounting hole is slotted to allow for varying distances between the radius arm and the cap. The retaining strap mounts towards the inside to allow the spring to lift out to help keep from limiting axle droop, and is offset slightly to ensure the end of the coil stays retained. There's an extra auxiliary drain hole towards the front as well.
They come as bare steel ready to finish as you see fit, and includes the mounting hardware which is all grade 8 along with extra thick flat washers.
I have test fitted them with stock early Bronco springs along with a few different sets of the aftermarket offerings.
The mounting hole location has the same positioning as the stock cups, this allows for less chance of interference with things such as a track bar riser on the axle or the drivers side bump stop.
The price is $149.00 plus shipping
Also,on this page and this page of my build thread you will find more information from when I made the first original version and installed them on my Bronco.
