Default anyone ride on canuck springs?

hi guys

i run a set of canuck coil spring with nitro drop 2 shoks (8000 on the front 8512 in the rear)when i lifted the car the rear springs fall off

the question is do you know a shok shorter than the belltech to keep the spring compressed when the car is lifted

I have the same problem with my ST springs... I'll install strap to limit axle down travel.

BTW, what the heck are canuck springs?

i think i heard of people holdng them in with zip ties or something so they dont drop out when lifting. i could be wrong.
Do you like the canuck springs?? i have been eyeballing them and wanted to try them myself when i get around to lowering. never lowered my car so i dont know what to compare them too.

I would use a strap or zip tie the spring before I messed with shocks.
