Had a local shop install my ome 2" lift, jks front and rear trackbars and jks adj. Quick discos in front about a month ago. Was rotating tires today and noticed that the there is very little clearance (less than 1/4") between the driver side coil and the link while the passenger side has over 1" clearance. As far as i can tell, have had no issues with rubbing against coil on bumps. I also noticed that the passenger side shock is not perfectly centered in the tower (leans forward at bottom just a bit). Is this normal? Or a poor install? Or due to lift?? Us it something that can be or should be corrected? If so, how?

 

you need an adjustable front track bar to recenter the axle.


edit: your front track bar isnt adjusted correctly.

for the lean, look down at the front lower spring perch. you will see an indentation. the end of the coil should sit down in the groove and against that lip.

 

That makes sense. Just checked measurements and the axles are definitely not centered, so trackbars were installed but never adjusted correctly.

Thanks.

 

Will check the lower perch on both sides.

Thanks again.

 

Just checked the coils. They are in correct position.

Also, found some marks on drivers side coil, so link is rubbing a bit on that side

 

To me it looks like the axle is shifted forward on the driver side. Will adjusting the trackbar fix this or do I need control arms?

Anyone else having this issue?

 

Adjustable arms should solve that, but I'm not sure why it's pushed forward.

 

Will try adjusting the trackbar first. Seems to be about an inch out so maybe the orientation is causing the axle to Pivot on the drive shaft (??). If that doesn't work, I'll try installing adj. lowers.

 

Just an update...
Adjusted front trackbar and everything lined up. Thanks for the advice.
