Back in 2006, my father and I were on a Jeep trail ride in Palo Duro Canyon. We’re moving along when we hear someone from the back of the line come over the CB radio, “Did someone lose a coil spring?” Turns out my father had so much down travel in his Jeep’s suspension that the springs were just popping out. He fixed it later by installing limiting straps to keep the axle from dropping too far.
