Lower Radiator Hose

Is anybody making lower radiator hose with a spring in it?
I bought a AC Delco and there is no spring it, wouldn't that make it collapse under WOT?

The old hoses had some collapse issues, hence the spring. The new ones don't have that issue and don't require the spring. Who did you buy the hose from?

Before you buy the spring, try the replacement hose and see how it performs. Just my opinion.
