Default TF 2.5" coil lift with shocks, .5" sag...

TF 2.5" coil lift with TF 9550 shocks, been on my jeep for 4 days now and noticed that the passanger side seem to be abit lower then the drivers side, about a .5". Also the shop that installed the lift reinstalled the stock bumpstop on top of the TF bumpstop. Is this correct. Doesnt look right to me. Anyway can someone chime in and help me out....

You shouldn't have a block on the front axle perch, you use those with a 4in kit. You'll have to drop the front axle and pull the springs to get them out.

Echo was right. you have an unneeded bumpstop connected to your axle.

Aside from that extra bumpstop..From this view, it seems like the TF bumpstop is not sitting flush seems to be angled a bit...

I wasn't sure how to copy OP's first pic so I used this, but in the first pic it looks like the weight of the jeep is resting on the bumpstop.

I've Read some post about people using something to wedge the tf bumpstop into place, could the shop just not finished seating the bumpstop and left that thing in there?

Wow!! You paid for that work? Scary! I can not believe the shop that did that actually thought it was right and returned the jeep to you like that. Tells you they did not know even the basics of installing a lift.
