My coil is hitting my trac bar mount on compression. I have 4.5" of lift (3" spring, 1.5" isolater). The spring is seated right and is centered on the isolater. The axle is centered, and aligned. I do have 1" longer lacs& ucas on it to center axle in wheelwell and fix pinion/caster angle. I had the same issue before I put the extera 1.5" of lift and control arms on. Is this just an annoying issue everyone has, or is it specific to my set-up?

 

Is it possible that I need to swap coils from side to side?

 

That's called staggering the springs and only helps with uneven stance of the vehicle. Now is it he frame mount or axle mount that's hitting? Cause when most coils compress, they don't.go just straight up and down, they "bulge" a little.

 

I had this problem. Just grinded it back a tad. Now springs don't touch it.

 

Hitting on frame mount. May try grinding this weekend. I have about a half inch of clearance. It's just annoying on the trail to hear it clanging all the time. Did'nt know if it was just specific to my xj, sounds like others have same issue. Thanks.
