the way the front coils are both bowed out makes me think the coils are either not seated properly or that's just the way they sagged.

 

hah and so the truth be known.. yeh common issues, we are left to "clean up" others mistakes.. happens all the time.. So yeah as mentioned above.. new coils would offer a bit more resistance and you'd get to keep you factory spacers. Unless you'd actually want to incorp new coil spacers also..

 

I'll take a look when I get home and see if they are seated in those little indents or not.

You betcha! Knew there would be some issues with it when I got it but a lot of the 'quirks' I saw were easily solved as I carried all my aftermarket stuff from the 2door to this one. I'd rather stick with full coils then to start adding in spacers. Guess we'll see if the coils are seated right and what the current ride height is once I get home.

 

The mfg told you buy adjustable spacers instead of warrantying/replacing their coils that had sagged. Mighty nice of them.

The ACOS have minimum lift heights involved. 1" minimum for the front, 2" minimum for the rear. Probably not the route you want to take.

I think the axle centering comment was front to back (control arms), not side to side (trackbars). Along with some type of coil correction, might be something to consider if you choose to stay at your current height.

 

You know.... that is a good point!

The axle centering front to back 'should' be good. I had a shop give me a print out of where I stood after I replaced the front end stuff and they said the numbers were good. I think they called it the thrust angle? I still have the print out in the garage so I can post the results on that one.

 

Say, do you flex allot.. or have quick dicso?.. i didn't notice if you did.. Even if you line these back up and without anchoring them down.. it will happen again.. In many cases it's prob best to start with a clean slate.. this way you know what you're getting and getting into.

 

That's assuming the OP's shocks are too long allowing the springs to become unseated. Wheeling in CO my JK gets lots of flex and the coils have never moved.

 

Here is the thread the measurement pictures above were taken from: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/stoc...ements-297499/

 

this always kills me how much difference there is +/- on stock rubicon suspensions.

 

With all of the factory spring part numbers I'd bet they're all pretty close. The only way to get correct caster numbers from the factory is to get the suspension height set to spec. Although I do know the quality on Jeeps isn't exactly excellent.
