Yeah, I'm not sure, but you do have the 1" bl and its still a pretty big gap with 35s

I don't mind the height, if it was level...

Anyone got anymore thoughts on this? The more I look at it, the more it just doesn't look right. If the RC 2.5" kit sits level and eliminates rake, it doesn't when you mix the rear linear and old front coils, that is for sure. I have at least 1-1.5" difference between front and rear. Put a couple hundred miles on in past 2 days now and not settling in the rear near that much.

I sent RC a PM and email with pictures and no response yet...

Either they sent me 4" rear coils (packing slip said 2.5" RR 4-door coil) by accident or my fronts are sagging just as bad and they need to send me new ones.

If that doesn't work I am going to need to buy some coils I know are right (OME or something) and replace these b/c I can't handle the uneven stance.

I'm sure they would relpace them. And I would call RC, not send a pm. I would love to get my front coils replaced. The top coils aren't touching yet, but I'm afraid to see what's gonna happen when I add weight to the front.

Awesome, I will give them a call tomorrow, I have already sent an email. Can't wait for the new front coils. I love how the rear sits with the new coils (and rides nice too!) if the entire jeep sits that high it will be great!

What do you need to have the coils replaced? I bought the kit from a member. I would be interested in just getting the rear coils. Had allot of sag when I put my bumper/tire carrier on.

The progressive coils sag. If you look the top three coils are probably touching and if they are, it probably rides like a log truck too.

It was a crappy ride from the start. I pulled them and put my factory coils and spacers back on. I'm happy to see they updated these coils. Wondering if they would replace my rears if they didn't have a record of purchase. Did you guys ship the coils back to them? I still have the full set sitting in my garage
