JKU spring swap help
Just did the 17/58 spring swap on my 09 JK X. After driving it for a few days noticed front is sitting uneven, passenger side almost 1in lower. Upon further investigation it looks like my stock springs were a 13/14 combo. The 14 does in fact have a longer free length than the 13. What have others done to get things leveled out??? 
Thx.

guessing the 18 or 19 fronts dont have this offset issue???
dont want a big lift since only running 32s with 3.21 gears. looks good with the small lift i gained.

You shouldn't be experiencing any major differences like that regardless of the coils you picked as long as they're within a number or two of each other. Is it possible that someone deceived you and attached a tag to a coil that isn't actually as high of a rate? It would be rather unfortunate, but outside of the coils not being seated properly (you've checked) there shouldn't be a discernable disparity in height.
It may suck to do, but what about swapping the coils left to right (up front) and see if you get any difference. Maybe one of the coils has MANY miles on it and the other doesn't? It's an easy mistake to make, there's a guy in my area that has to easily have 15 full sets of coils. I could see grabbing the wrong one or an older one.

the suspect coil only has a partial tag left on it. gotta pull it to see whats left of the number on the inside of the coil...
was mostly curious if the 17s do not have enough lift to offset the 13/14 setup. mostly everyone seems to be doing 18 or 19 swaps, very few 17s i could find.
