1" off side to side after lift
Well I was standing back admiring the Jeep today and noticed that it looked lopsided. So I pulled out the tape measure ( measuring from the center hub to the bottom of the fender flare) and the driver side rear was an inch higher than the passanger side rear. HMMMMMM.
So I looked at the springs and they were sitting different on the loser spring plate .
You guessed it. Out comes the jack and jack stands. Undo the track bar, shock, emergency brake line, well everything.
I turned the passenger side rear spring so it was sitting like the drivers side, and put everything back together. What do you know both sides were then the exact same.
The front has the notches for the springs to sit in and the rear doesn 't. Guess it eas a rookie mistake.
Just letting you all know so you don't make the same mistake.

well maybe but if you get a set of adjustable rear swaybar links you can make the jeep sit level by pulling on one side and pushing on the other.. thats how i was told to get it level from side to side
Nice Kit you got there!

How much of a pain in the ass was it getting the upper spring retainers tightened up? The nut that goes above the top of the springs and you got to Jam in a small ass wrench between the body of the JK to get it tightened....
