When standing in front of the jeep and looking at the coils, there is a slight bow to the outside in the middle of them, I'm just wondering if other people on a 4" coil lift have a bow to theirs as well?

 

Is your axle centered?

 

No I did not get a adjustable track bar and I know the axle is off by the lift and also the driver coil has hit and is very close to the sway bar, the paint has even been rubbed off the coil by the contact when wheeling

 

x2. Usually it happens when your axel is off center, or there is a cross-camber issue, maybe?. I have heard that it also depends on the quality of your springs. Some bow out because the manufacturing standards are not consistent. I know that there are spring shims some people get to straighten out the bow. The short answer is: yes, it does happen. Probably not a good thing, Man.

 

Thanks for the info,,,,It's probably just another one of those things I'm gonna have to live with, or chase my tail tryin to fix it. It works, I'll leave it alone. Was just wonderin if anybody else had seen it before.

 

I'm lost.... why would you have to "live with it" or "chase [your] tail"....

Buy an adjustable trackbar. You need one (actually two) anyway with a lift of that size.

The springs you say are bowed "out"... I read this as "out towards the tires"... is that correct? Usually when springs bow due to caster, they bow towards the forward or rear of the vehicle, not towards (or away) from the tires. So, if they are not bowing along the front/back axis, then correction plates are probably NOT what you are looking for.

Again, I could be wrong, but you absolutely need to center you axles with a 4" lift anyway.

 

Exactly. They bow to the front from not enough caster, and they bow to the side when the axle isn't centered

 

Yeah it sounds like an adjustable track bar is in my future,, Thanks guys

 

My front passenger coil did the same, with only 1.75'' coil spacers lift,my axle is a litle bit off but nothing to worry about.

At 4'' you will need new ajustable trackbars to recenter axle.

 

might need to get some adj. control arms to correct the geometry....and Trackbars will correct the coils and center the axle where it needs to be
