I would think that would not be that likely bc the sway bars front and back would prevent it from flexing enough to unseat the factory coil. Maybe if the sway bars were disconnected... I guess anything is possible. What are you doing with your jeep?

Your shocks would reach their limit before you unseat your coils.

Just swapped out my two door (14/56) coils for a set of four door (18/60) coils. To unseat the springs on a fully stock set-up you have to disconnect the sway bar links, and unbolt the shocks, and then drop the axels about another 3 inches. Even with the sway bar disconnected the shocks will stop you well before the springs unseat. Happy Jeeping.

I just saw this, sorry. I kept everything stock except for the springs. I am steadily adding weight, so the Jeep is settling back down. With the addition of my winch the front is back down to stock hight.
