I recently installed a RK 3.5 X factor. Runs beautiful and flex's like Macho Man (r.i.p). I was working on some stuff today and noticed the springs are really off looking. Are they supposed to be like this? Is this safe? The arms were measured to the length specified by RK. Any help would be awesome!

 

Yeah. The rear. The thick part of the spring spacers are facing the rear. I believe thats what it said to do.

 

I have the exact same issue. When off roading I noticed that the rear right spring will rub on my rear tracbar at times. I had to adjust the tracbar slightly outward to stop it from hitting.

 

I have a 4" teraflex and my rear coils looked like that. They were also hitting my track bar. I solved the issue by cutting off my lower perch and welded them back on the top of the axle. It took some time but worth it to me. Jks also sells some brackets that bolt on to correct this.

 

I guess its normal. Just looks wrong/bad.

 

My springs look exactly like yours. I installed the currie spring retainers top and bottom
just for peace of mind because it thought that it might pop out under full flex.

 

To those with terra flex springs if you look at the bottom. Coil wrap it is off center so rotate the spring like a cam it will move around. Rotate spring and watch it pull away from the rear track bar and sit straighter....
