yeah sure. what i dont understand is the way the back moves, i have never hit the pinch seam, or my rubicon rails, but the coil hits the gas tank and at ride height you can just see the coils look funny.

it will be in january or february when i do it.

ah ha, i just looked through your sig and noticed that you don't have a u-joint style drive shaft. once you do, you will need to set your pinion angle to be in line with it and this will cause your rear coils to bow backwards. this is totally normal and will help them to clear your gas tank. unfortunately, it will also put them a lot closer to your track bar. it's a delicate balancing act.
