Cool, I don't have a prob with mine rubbing on the trk bar, just the look, I can afford this mod right now.

 

What is a better fix, these spacers or just cutting off the mounts and welding them back on in the correct position? I have been planning on cutting and moving the stock ones.

my guess would be resetting the stock mounts, if you have the equipment to get it done. for those of us that dont have a welder, like me, the wedges are the way to go.

you could also go this way http://www.northridge4x4.com/proddet...S-2400&cat=273 which would save you the welding...

 

In my opinion relocating (or replacing) the stock mounts at the appropriate angle would probably be best. but, since I don't have a welder, and my welding skills resemble goose crap on glass, that really wasnt an option for me.

I was left with two options, these wedges, or the JKS perches. the JKS perches are considerably more, and a lot more work too. (not hard, just time consuming) I figured i would get the wedges and see how they panned out for me & if they didnt work out, i would get the JKS perches and go that route. So far the wedges are fine.

 

Keep at it man you'll get it

 

I just ordered mine over the phone today. Should be on my Jeep this upcoming weekend! I'll take pictures of the install.

 

$24 plus $8 for shipping.

 

With my Teraflex kit, it included a large washer (approximately 2 inchs across that was held on top of the lower spring perch. It was held in place by a bolt that went through the hole that already existed in the spring perch. It is probably only needed under heavy articulation as the axle would have to significantly drop to allow enough slack in the spring to become unseated. The Jeep I saw these on use a large pipe clamp used as a retainer.

Others could weigh in, but the weight of the Jeep under normal use would keep everything seated properly.

 

I did the same thing. Problem solved.

 

There is NO problem whatsoever reinstalling this lower spring retainer after installing the correction wedges. Although you probably could run without it, why take the chance? I certainly dont want to lose a spring for the sake of not reinstalling a nut bolt & washer. The potential damage could be devastating.
