Got a picture?
Lower springs should still be captured by the same bits that hold the normal springs in place. I know the Whiteline and Kings do although some dont

Given the choice I'd go with the captured ones.

Only for instalation, I jack the front of mine and I need to set the spring as I'm putting it down. It realy is a pain in the ass.
Now I have the shorter AAS shocks I may investigate the appropriate Kings to take advantage of that system.

can`t you use heavy duty zip ties and tie the springs into the top and bottom mounts?
