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.

Now I have the shorter AAS shocks I may investigate the appropriate Kings to take advantage of that system.
