If not, your coil got fatigue when your coil has compressed more than 70% of free coil length.
If you go to trail many time and did full articulation many time so your coil would sag within couple of years IMO.
I guess driver side coil is slightly longer or stiff than pax side normally due to occupied driver make it level hence when no occupant on drivers seat RH side would sag at full fuel tank

I added coil spacers all the way around with no real issues on a 2.5" teraflex kit. My front axle is a little bit off but no real problem aside from it pulling to one side. I am planning on switching to either rock krawler 3.5" coils or the evo plush ride 3" coils. I am going to be adding extended front brake lines front lower control arms, an adjustable front track bar, extended rear sway bar links, (I have the jks front disconnects so i wont need to replace them just extend them) longer shocks, and possibly a rear track bar and rear upper control arms if needed. My rear axle is still dead on with the 2.5" rear bracket from the teraflex kit but we will see when I change the springs.

My advice would be to find someone's JKU Rubi springs and shocks and replace yours with those. Thus eliminating whatever existing coil spring issue you may have as well as gaining some lift on your 2 DR JK. Gains are anywhere from 1-2" I think on average. I did this myself and gained over an inch AND improved the ride a bit because I still had 07 JK X factory springs and shocks.
There are a bunch of folks with 2012 JKU springs and shocks for sale and $100-$150 is a fair price.

I forgt to say that I have jks disconnects and a rock Krawler frot track bar and I'm gonna order the rear soon also...
I might switch to the Evo plush 3" coils and if I do so should I change my Tera flex shocks ?
