^ ok maybe not.

Springs haven't fallen out yet.

I only worry when the rear goes over bumps like speed bumps and such otherwise the spring is unlikely to fall out. I run 6" springs with little to no issues.

My springs are short in the back. If I go up a steep driveway my spring will fall out on either side. So I just don't go up steep driveways anymore.

^ How does that happen?

Any unsecured rear spring could fall out under the right conditions. I saw it happen at the Solo Nationals to a 4th gen F-Body in ESP trim - he came in to a hard right hand corner and as the right rear got light the spring came out, dropping the fender on his tire

ending his run - they were able to pop it back in and run again.

Some zip ties or hose clamps at the top of the spring should keep it from falling over.

zip ties, yes!

(We like zip ties)

I guess I have to take back what I said about the rear springs NEVER falling out, though with the zip ties it's practically impossible.

Use Ty-Wraps not zip ties. Zip ties are rated for almost no weight whereas Ty-Wraps can handle 10-50 lbs.
