Problmes after lift
 
Anyone have any advice on how to fix my rear springs? After having them installed..they have a bind on them...and the left spring is touching the rear track bar.

The left spring?? I've seen ppl with problems touching the right spring. Is the track bar in correctly? Is your spring seated 100%?

We have inexpensive correction wedges that will correct the bottom spring seat for your coils!

Here is a link to them!

These should do the trick for you!

You could probably get away with coil spring wedges and some spring retainers. A few companies make them. I think most people would say the correct way to fix it would be to either cut off and reweld your spring perches in the correct position, or use adjustable spring perches.

I apologize for the miss print... It is my right spring that is rubbing the track bar. I have correction wedges installed and the springs still don't look to be seated correctly...

Did you measure your pinion angle before and after? It looks way off.

that looks all sorts of wrong. lift details? It almost looks like you're running an aftermarket upper control arm that is too long?

I haven't seen that before. I am guessing that you've got your pinion angle set too high. If your angle is correct, then paying someone to cut off and relocate both lower coil brackets is probably the next option.

I've never seen a mid-coil interfere with the track bar like that...

Im pretty sure it is all sorts of wrong! Just ordered new lower control arms and track bar. I do have adjustable upper control arm installed. This problem started after putting the new drive shaft on.

did you get the right length driveshaft? it almost sounds like the axle is just set back too far, and the pinion angle looks way way off
