Asking my guys.
The coils were installed in their correct corner, since they are corner specific?
Anything else about your JLUR by chance?
Thanks!

One thought off the top of my head...

They are installed in their correct locations. You can even see the LF on the top picture which is the drivers side. Other than that, axles are centered with Rancho adjustable front and rear track bars and using Rancho Geo Correction Brackets too.

Caster by chance?
In regards how about "pig tail" and axle pad alignment?

Caster is good at 5.4 degrees. I believe the springs are seated and orientated correctly in the spring pads. Visually they appear correct.

So, are you saying there should be zero bow? I have read so much on this, many say some bow is normal. Not sure if your kit has some or not when properly installed?

From my team:


A little bow to the outside like that is perfectly fine and normal.

As long as it is not hitting the bump stop or sway bar.

That’s what I thought. I did notice the driver’s side top isolator alignment tabs are not sticking through the holes. The passenger side is. I think it’s close, but now the alignment tabs are smashed up there. Not happy about it, as it’s part of a long list the shop screwed up on. Guess I’ll live with it.
Thanks for the reassurance.

I had the spring isolator issue corrected. Replaced that part as well. Now that I have all the suspension components correctly installed and torqued to spec, I cannot say enough good things about the 2” Sport Lift. It’s quite impressive at a very good price. My brother in law was impressed by how well it handled, absorbed road imperfections and didn’t float, dip or dive. Set the shocks to 4 and what a nice riding JLU Rubicon.
