If you add our coil spring correction wedges to the bottom of your OEM spring seats that will help correct your issue and make your rear coil springs more effective.

That is a damn good idea. What is the longest the rear lower control arm should be? For some reason I am longer than Tera specs.

Default JKS Adjustable Spring Mounts

Hi,

I had the same problem with an OME LT kit.

I ended up cutting off the spring perches and installing JKS adjustable spring mounts. No rubbing now.

Good luck.

Jeff

I just saw these at the All Jeeps show in York Pa yesterday. It doesn't look like you can order right from the RK website. Where can I get them!!!

Shouldn't those be welded on? A band clamp?

They are a poly material. Band clamp is similar to the big washer that came with my suspension lift.

Anyone else using these. They seem like a quick and easy solution.

Yes, i have these in conjunction with my teraflex 3" lift, my springs where bowing enough that i wanted it corrected. enough to be a problem? i doubt it, but i didnt like the way it looked. They where easy to install, just make sure you get them oriented correctly, hard to spin once seated (which is a good thing) and my springs look much better. I have spring retainers so the clamp wasn't necessary.

no, sorry, i don't have pics.

Ahhh, yeah, I'd rather use the spring retainers myself than a band clamp. Seems like a stronger solution.

the clamp doesnt come with them, it's just one idea to hold them in place. I prefer the retainer washers myself



These ARE on rockkrawler's home page under new jk products

give them a call ($24.99+whatever taxes/shipping?)

i got mine in less than a week
