Is this common when flexing I did some light off-roading yesterday and while washing underneath I noticed the driver side rear coil was shifted off-center in the perch. The spring isolator is still in tact between the spring and perch. I'm taking it to my buddy's lift so I can re-seat the spring but was wondering if this has happened to anyone else especially those that do heavy flexing ??? I have the TeraFlex 2.5" coil kit.

 

when you installed the lift, did you make sure the end of the spring was in the little divet on the base? if you didn't that could have an effect.

 

he was supposed to get was the same thing that I did not get in my kit as well was the aluminum nut/washer, bolt, and special wrench that was/is supposed to be included to secure the spring from coming out of the bottom, but why it came out of the top is a mystery. Good thing that it didn't fall out on the trail.

 

Wild! Almost looks like it wasn't seated properly to begin with. I actually thought I had mine seated right at first try, then jerked it around real good and felt it suddenly seat even deeper in the well so I made sure to check it on both.

That said, I'm going to watch mine for a bit.

 

Not sure I get it. I have the Teraflex 9550 shocks that come with the the 2.5" Teraflex coil kit

 

You didn't install the shock extensions on those did you?

I don't think that kit would have come with it, but just checking.

I am using the standard rubicon shocks with extensions just for clarification

 

I did get that washer you mentioned and you can kinda see it in the picture...but that's on the bottom and it looks like it did it's job as the shock stayed attached on the bottom. But it's the top where the spring fell out

 

No...I'm using the Teraflex 9550 shocks.

 

Yeah I saw that. Didn't know if maybe your kit was messed up and you had some how gotten the extensions WITH the longer shocks, and may have installed the extensions anyways.

It's an odd issue to say the least. Unfortunately I suppose only someone else using the TF shocks could help you there. Only other thing I can think of is maybe the coil wasnt seated perfectly.

 

Well that would make sense why it stayed in, that sucks. I know ALOT of guys are real happy with the Teraflex kit, i'm on the fence. I am having issues as well but nothing as bad as that, that could have been a real nightmare if you didn't have the spring securing bolt set up, if that would have came out on your return trip and went through a windshield or something, damn.
