I've seen pics where people have used them but I can't say how they hold up.

they work great in that I can just pull a tire off drop one side down and then get to the bolt to add or remove them when needed. Just tap the coil bucket for a bolt and your good......but if you have a very flexed out unibody like me they dont always hit the top post real well.

They work well. I've seen where people use some Gorilla glue to hold them down. A lot of times you can unload the weight on one side if the coils and slide them in between each coil instead of taking them out again.

At least 3 or 4.

Go to eBay or google ice hickey picks. Most go for $1ish a piece.

I have 6 inches of lift and 35's and use I think 5 on each side to keep tire out of fender. Truly the most redneck thing I have done on this jeep.
